I’ve never had an egg explode. When you candled at lock down if the eggs smell or are seeping you should remove them.
Right, that's my normal routine too! But the actual act of an egg exploding in an incubator is it like BOOM guts all over the other eggs or is it more anticlimactic than that?
I check my eggs fairly frequently. Like last night I had a suspicion that one of my more porous eggs wasn't doing well. Embryo seemed very small and lethargic and I could see a really rapid heartbeat. The egg itself just seemed thin. (I have an older hen who I knew laid this one but I wanted some chicks from her because she was one of my original chickens EVER) But there was movement with the embryo so I left it. But when I woke up this morning it had died through the night. *sadness*
