Well its time to pull the eggs from the turner and 2 of them are stuck and i mean stuck good. I would just turn off the turner but i have another set of eggs in there about 4 days behind them. I have really pulled/pushed as hard as i think i can on the egg without breaking it so any thoughts. I could spray the thing down with pam or something but figured that would kill the poor chick if its developing. I havent candeled these as they have been stuck since i went to candle them on about day 7. So i guess its possible for eggs to swell slightly, there were rather large eggs t begin with.
 
oohhh i'm thinking thye shouldn't have stuck, even if they were big... i had a couple stick into an egg carton i was incubating in since i don't have a turned, and they stuck because they were icky.. like they were oozing and bad and oops i broke one the most god awful smell EVER!!!
did you candle them?? is there development??
 
they were stuck the next day, i havent been able to get them out at all. Thery were "clean " as far as i could tell, they were shipped and there could heve been a nonseen crack but no smell as of yet. hoping this batch isnt a bust like the silkies look to be. The USPS was nice enough to loose them for a couple extra days for me. They should start to hatch Thursday, we wil see. Thanks
 
They are probably bad, but don't use pam you risk it getting on the others and killing them by blocking their pores.
 
I had to take my turner row out with an egg stuck. if it is a Yellow turner then you can pull a little cotter pin out of the end of the egg row.and then pry out the bar there is a long cap on top of the row where the pin is in will come up but thats OK.Slide the row of egg cups out and soak it clean and then.When your ready to put it back just place the end back into the hole and then the cotter pin and push the bar back down to hold it there.
If its the LG brand the cup is removable.Just pop it up and the soak egg out clean and replace the cup.
 
I would just take out the turner, and put the eggs back into the incy, and like one other person said, take out that rack and clean those eggs off because they were probably oozing and that's why they got stuck. A normal egg just won't stick to an egg turner.

If you don't, those eggs could pop and contaminate your whole hatch. Or you could take out that single row and leave the egg turner in there......

Good luck to ya!
