Help! Bad egg in bator

[christelg]

So my muscovy eggs are hatching had our first one come out at 230 pm today but I'm a little worried about one egg that's in there... It's sort of black and looks like it has stuff oozing out around it. Can I take it open bator and take it out? Worried this egg has some bacteria is that okay for the babies to be breathing in? What should I do!?

I would get it out of there. It might explode. Yuck. But others might not want to open the incubator.

Get the bad egg out. An exploding egg can cause a lot more problems than temporary decrease in humidity.

Get the egg out carefully, maybe even cover it with a bag, just in case it explodes while you handle it. I lost several eggs when a quail egg blew up in my bator once.

for sure open incubator and get it out, i had one explode, i had to then open and remove all the good egss while i cleaned the incubator, (baked on rotten egg)
this took about 10 minutes, i kept the eggs under a light while i was doing this. out of 18 eggs i had 5 that did not hatch, another that did not make it totally out of the egg. could have been for this brief time out of the humidity?? dont know.
but i have not had any issues with a 20 second open and remove. that is if none are currently coming out.
