Ok I will upload pics tomorrow when I can get to Internet. 1 egg quit tonight. NOT the horrible one. I can mist. Should I mist after wiping eggs, or raise humidity?s

I would hold off on misting, if you don't do it from the start it seems like it can cause them to get sticky really bad, but try to do it at least once a week..

NOPE will raise the humidity once we get closer to the due date, it will just harm them right now..

Smell comes from eggs not bator. Very good movement in all 4 eggs. Smell has lessend from yesterday. Used coarse ish washcloth, dry, misted eggs, wiped eggs. Removed 85% of gunk. Smell had dissipated before wipe down.

GOOD, got to get as much as you can off of those eggs. Good job.

I have had several people wash the eggs before throwing them in the bator and the number one thing I hear back, because I'm a seller is "you sold me unfertlied eggs". lol, So i would not suggest to anyone about washing them..

My chickens manage to hatch out chicks with the Dirtest eggs ever, although it is a huge challenge once they have been next to one that has exploded.. IMPOSSIBLE, NOOOO, but a definitely a challenge..

And people wonder why I don't want to hatch eggs and raise baby chicks. There are so many variables and challenges involved, on a good day. This hasn't been good days here. God Bless you, caesergirl, for taking this on and trying to keep these eggs viable, giving these developing chicks a chance to thrive.
