Ok - so i just recieved two dozen + eggs from a fellow BYCer ( YAY ) .

Three were cracked open and "bled" all over the rest of the eggs, or at least half of them.

1. Can I wash them in warm water? Or should I do it with a wet cloth? They all smell funny now and im not sure if the eggs themselves are bad or if its just the smell from the spilled eggs.

DRY HATCHING -

Who has experience with this? I asked in the incubating and hatching section but only got a reply from one awesome person. I would like to try dry hatching since ive heard the hatch rate is higher.


1. what does the temp need to be?
2. What day do I add the hot water?
3. When does the temp need to change?
4. What should the humidity be when I add the water?
 
There's a discussion going on now on the Yahoo BantamCallDucks group right now about dry hatching Calls...you might want to check that out. Sounds like we have some old hands at the trade talking.
 
Mind giving me the link? These are all mut eggs but id love to see what i can learn
