So when people say there's a "smell" to bad eggs in the incubator, does it smell kind of like hard boiled eggs? I opened the incubator this afternoon to turn the eggs and it smelled like that. I picked up a few eggs but the only one that actually had a resemblance of that smell actually had a moving chick inside. Somehow the bright LED flashlight went missing in my classroom at the beginning of the week. I've been trying to candle with the regular flashlight (that no one wants to steal) but it just isn't working. The eggs are 16 days old today. I just went to Walmart and bought a new LED (super bright) flashlight but I'm in a training tomorrow so won't get to them until Friday. I really hope nothing explodes tomorrow with the substitute! Also, if Friday is day 18 is it okay to candle them in the morning and then lock everything down?
I know the hatch rate won't be great because I had some temperature issues in the beginning (too hot then a bit too cold, I can't turn them on the weekends, etc) here's to crossing my fingers at least one hatches this year!
