Chicks not hatching

Hi thanks for all the info i checked the eggs yesterday 6-7 eggs were clear and i heard pipping on 2 eggs (internal pipping )..
2 egg stopped developing at some stage .. And all the other eggs seem fully developed with no pipping ..(dark when candling )

I smelled all the goose eggs only one egg smells bad i think its making all the bad smell i didn't take it out because I'm scared it may be alive (it is dark when candled)

This is the bator

Take out the bad smelling one!
You need to squish your nose right into it and sniff as hard as you can, if the smell is strong like rotting gassy meat (excuse the description) throw it out immediately.
If this explodes it will pollute your incubator and ruin everything...

Take out the bad smelling one for a couple minutes, let the air clear in the bator, go outside or into another room with the egg and give it lots of sniffs.
The egg should not smell too bad if it's just surface poop. If it is strong then it is rotten and it will explode. I knocked a rotten muscovy duck egg once and it COMPLETELY EXPLODED, and I'm talking, sounded like a shot gun went off and it sprays rotten gloop

Discard the clear and undeveloped chicken eggs. Are the ones that are full and drk moving at all? When you candle them try turning them quickly from aside to side (just a couple times) chicks will get agitated and it might cause them to fidget. Not too many times though.
What day are you on now?
 
I took the clear eggs out i didn't see movement in the dark eggs and i did sniff the smelly egg in another room and it does smell bad are you sure there is nothing in there ?? The egg was dark when i candled it the other eggs don't smell at all and they are just as dirty as the smelly one
I think I'm on day 24 with the chicken eggs and with the goose eggs

I don't know about the bator when i get back home ill update i think its Italian maybe ..
 
Sounds like goose egg very rotten.
I wouldn't risk it if I were you. What day are you on with goose eggs? Same as chicken?
When you candled the 2 internal pipped chicks, could you see their beaks? How did you know they were internally pipped?
 
Yes the goose and the chickens are on the same day
I know they are pipping because i heard them i didnt see thier beaks

Can a chick hatch from a smelly egg ??
 
No chick hatches from a smelly egg, the egg will be smelly because the contents is dead and rotting, as the bacteria grows pressure builds inside the shell, soon there will be no more room and it will give at the weakest point of the shell, or if the egg is knocked
 
Yes i took it out there was small black thing inside but like you said it was rotten !!
The chickens eggs did not hatch none of them !!
Right now im waiting for the goose eggs to hatch and after they hatch ill clean the bator set the temp and humidity and try again with my black copper maran eggs
