exploding eggs ??

[Dee Dee 2]

I am incubating come R.I.R. eggs due to hatch 4/21. The incubator I am using ( L.G.) is styrofoam and borrowed. I really would not like eggs exploding in someone else's incubator. And in that styrofoam ~~~ ugh ~~~~~ what a mess. I candled the eggs yesterday but they are dark shelled and since I am a newbie I really don't know what I am (doing) looking at. If an egg is going to explode from bacteria at what stage does that usually happen ?? ("-") Thanks !

dont worry about them exploding... make sure you smell the incubator air before you turn the eggs, if there is a rotten smell then one egg is bad and you will have to sniff it out. However if the smell is more like someone left out tuna for a couple of days thats just the smell of hatching chicks. As for candeling you're looking for a ring of viens and a black swimming dot that likes to say hi, but the yolk will roll with the egg and is quite large compared to the egg.

If they start to smell really bad, throw them away.
