Help!!!!!! I have an egg leaking!

[Oldhenhens]

I went into lockdown on November 11. This is only my second incubation and the first I only got one chick and lots of late deaths in the shells.
Today I have two eggs pipping and an egg leaking. Is that a sign it is bad? Should I open and remove it. I don’t want to chance losing humidity and temp if it will be okay. I don’t see pipping on it. I hear chirping presumedly from the two other eggs. Please help!!!!!

Can you candle all of the eggs and see what they look like?

Rotten eggs can leak a fluid. If that is the case it needs removed so it does not contaminate the other eggs. Take a look and see what is happening in the egg. You can open the incubator and candle the egg. A phone flashlight works well.

Did you initially set them in the incubator on November 11th or put in lockdown on the 11th? 18 days into incubation you raise the humidity and aren't supposed to open again til they hatch out. If you have to candle the one you think is bad I'd just do it really quick and have some warm water on hand to add if humidity drops too much. You could also just leave everything til they hatch and dry out and hope it doesn't explode lol

I'm just going to say that I open my incubator approximately a thousand times a day every single day...
I'm exaggerating but I open it a million times.

I would open it and get the leaking egg out immediately if I were you.

Get that egg out asap! It's oozing bacteria that can contaminate and kill the other chicks. If you wait until it explodes your chances of losing chicks only gets higher.

I decided the risk of leaving it was greater than the half a second I would have the lid open. It is out!

Thank you for responding. It is out!!! I’m frantic! I have 7 eggs pipping now and I want this to be a success!

I don’t think I want to open the incubator now that I’m in lockdown and chicks starting to hatch.
