We are on day 24 and we have a still air incubator .. we kept it at 99.5 (per website instructions for specific incubator)
we have had three eggs hatch and two have died.. the live chick is doing fine but still wet (after 10 hours) and still in the incubator.
the problem is that we are pretty sure that we have a ROTTEN egg! it is really smelly and we do not know if we should make the healthy chick hang out in the rotten incubator any longer? Open incubator to remove healthy chick (dead chicks already removed) and place separately in brooder or just leave and ignore smell?
Also when should i try the water test to see if there are any more viable chicks? or figure they are dead and toss them.??
