had a rotten egg bust tonight in the incubator.

[ChickiMomma15]

so tonight i was sitting on the computer and an AWFUL FOUL smell came into my room. I thought one of my dogs had farted. the smell wouldn't go away!! so i went in the house and i thought maybe something happened in the incubator so i went and checked and lo and behold there it was. we had been waiting on just 6 more eggs to hatch but yes one was cracked open and i saw feathers but no movement and the smell was dreadful. I knew exactly what happened and advice on my next hatch that we are putting in tomorrow? thanks

Greetings from Kansas and

! Pleased you joined us but sorry to hear about the rotten egg!

My only advice is to peruse the Incubating & Hatching thread. Good luck to you!

Please clean and disinfect the incubator to prevent others from going bad.
