21st day of incubation, few questions

[jfer]

I need some help please!!!! I put my eggs in the bator on March the 29th at 10 pm. Which day exactly and what time do I turn up the humidity and put them in lockdown. And do I candle them right before that? I did them on day 10 and took out the bad ones. I can't see in most of the blue ones to see if anything is in there alive. Will the explode on me?

Please help!!!

The 16 th at 10 pm will be day 18 which is when you should stop turning and higher humidity you can candle them then if you want to check for quitters if there is a pip before then you shouldn't really open the bator to candle. there is a chance an egg can explode if its dead and gas builds up but it doesn't happen that often as far as i know, you will know to throw out any that are not completely dark except for the aircell.

No problem also if one was going to blow you should get a terrible smell first and the egg might also be oozing, good luck

Oh boy I hope that doesn't happen

. I haven't noticed any smells yet but I have thrown out some dead ones and non fertiles. Most of my blue ones are so dark now that I can't see in them. Although one does have a funny looking spot on the outside of the egg that wasn't there before. When I get home I will post a pic of it

Here it is. Should I take this one out? I can't see inside of this one. It wasn't there when I first put it in the bator

I have never seen anything like that before, is the mark shiney compared to the rest of the egg? When you candled this egg was it all dark except for the aircell showing full development?

I can't see in the egg. It's too dark only the air space and I smelled it and it doesn't stink. But that spot wasn't there when I put them in. It's not shiny it's just a flat color. That's the only one that has that.

It's a big egg compared to my others for some reason.

I just asked someone else for you and are wondering if anything could have dripped on it from above?
