First hatch progress with some questions!?

The one on the top looks ok. Like fresh pip that had the shell pieces picked off.

The bottom one looks more worrisome. It could have pipped it's yolk. This has the potential to cement a chick in place. If this were my egg I would wait until I'm 100% sure it's stuck and ready to hatch (by waiting 24-36 hours post external pip to interfere). Then consider an assisted hatch.

Is it normal for the incubator to be stinking at this point or is likely one of the ones that haven’t hatched is dead?

Smell like a bad or rotten egg? No that's not ok. Ever. It might get a bit whiffy when the hatch is complete before you clean it but that's.

It was the white egg that poked out, when I picked it up there was dried yolk on it. I removed it and I guess I’ll leave the other one through the night but when I tapped on it no movement or chirping.

Honestly if they're not making noise and tapping to pip they're probably not going to hatch. It should be pretty obvious by candling and holding them to your ear which eggs are still good. But there's nothing wrong with giving them an extra day. What an excellent first hatch! Well done.
