3D I don't think they smell until they explode. If is not a viable egg toss it. what day is the egg on?

Here is a link to the smelly egg procedure Lots of people don't even candle their eggs or have eggs that are too dark to candle. It is important to get it out of the bator if it starts to stink though because if it did get that bad and explode it would contaminate the rest. If it's not viable it's not necessarily full of gasses and bacteria. Keep the incubator clean and your hands clean.

Ihawes, we will have to see who cracks first on Christmas day, the race is on,

chicknlove I hope your not cooking otherwise your dinner may be delayed,

I will be so happy if I even get one, since this was a race against time to get the bator here and saving eggs from the roo I lost, so these are his babies, oh I have a new roo a wyandotte and buffy has moved on, I can't say what my husband calls her, but she is happy she has a young man now. Pretty boy follows her around, she can't even go into the house to lay her egg by herself, he is 7 months old. his old housing. He starts crowing at about 5 am every morning, the old roo didn't start till the sun was up good.

Haha, yeah I read threads where people are like" I have a stinky egg should I smell it?" and all the replies say "yes, but don't pick it up and hold it near your face because it could explode on you!" LOL! My worst nightmare!
