I set a full incubator of hatched eggs on Tuesday. Yesterday something smelled off, and I noticed one had a crack, so I removed it but it was stuck and when I pulled it off it had leaked a bit on the turner. Then I turned off the turner, temporarily moved the other eggs on that rail to the other side, removed the rail and bleached it. When dry I put it back. This morning I check and another one is cracked (this one majorly with stuff oozing out of it too). Removed that. Nothing seems to have gotten on the turner this time - should I remove and bleach again? I don't want to keep disturbing all the other eggs.
Also, I have done several hatches now. This is the first time with any cracked/leaking/exploding eggs. I checked them all carefully before I set them and didn't see any cracks. Should I be worried about more going this route? They are marans eggs, so I doubt I'll be able to see anything well when I do candle.
Oh, and the one that leaked this morning - when I removed it I cracked it the rest of the way open and it is GREEN inside (and really stinky).
