Can I Leave Egg Remains In Incubator for Days? Or Contamination Issue?

[Sparrow-Song]

I had a bad start to my first try incubating eggs (chickens) on my own, and ended up with the wrong heat level and humidity for days in the beginning. We have had 3 hatch well, only 1 with curly toes, but I am waiting on the rest 2 days after first hatch. Is it safe to leave the egg remains in there? There is a slight smell. Only problem is, I don’t know how to get that stuff out—it’s final days and I don’t exactly have an extra incubator lying around. What should I do?

Can I stick them under a broody hen for a minute? Or is even the transfer time going to mess things up?

Thank you so much!

Just open the bator and take the shells out real quick.

Unfortunately these are the little pieces, and some made it into the humidity water trays.
