Bad egg might have messed up hatch. Today is hatch day

[Joyfillednomads]

We had one smelly egg that we removed and candles the remaining eggs more than a week ago. Today is hatch day and we haven't even had a pip yet. So worried.
A whole month of turning eggs and fretting over temp and humidity...

What kind of eggs? What kind of duck eggs? Online sources often give dates for incubation that are not necessarily true with all breeds of ducks and chickens. My serama hatch in 19-20 days; sometimes a day sooner. Call ducks are 26 days and muscovys are 33-35 days.

A spoiled/rotten egg would not ruin the rest of the eggs; especially true if the egg was removed before it broke. GOOD LUCK.

Mixed batch of 22 eggs. Chicken (15), duck (6) & turkey (1).
All different start dates, but planned lockdown on same day.

One of my mallards mix hens hatched ducklings last night on the 26th day. The ducklings are half Call duck. My Midget White turkeys also hatch in 26 days. And yes, I am counting the days correctly-24 hours after incubation starts is day 1 and so on. These hatch days are for under the bird or in the incubator.
