hatching eggs

[suzyque352]

Hi Everyone

am new here and need some advice

I have a hen sitting on eggs

about 10 of them

one of the eggs was bad and it exploded and now all the eggs have yolk
and stuff all over them
is this ok?
is there a way I can clean them up with out hurting the chicks inside?
or should I throw them away and start over???



HELPPPP thanks

Ewww. Youre stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think your chances are better by washing them. Just make sure you only rinse them in water that is hotter than the temp of the egg. Someone else may have a better idea though.

A stiff wire brush might take it off.....don't be too rough, though!

yea I think you'd be best washing them off. I had that happen to me before exept I didnt clean them and then none of them hatched.
