HELP! Incubator is smelling bad in lockdown stage!!

[Anonymous12345]

Help!! I’m quite new to all this and need some urgent help!!
I can smell an awful smell coming through the vents of my incubator and it’s day 19 and in lockdown!! However, none of my eggs are oozing and after smelling each individual egg I can’t seem to find the source of the smell. I really don’t want this to go south! Does anyone have a clue on what might be going on? Or do you know a way I can fix it without impacting the eggs?

I was in a similair situation last time I incubated. I did nothing. Neither did the eggs

Did everything turn out okay? Did any of your eggs not hatch?

Ummm yes it wasn't a good hatch 2/16 hatched

But most were duds

Are most hatches quite unsuccessful? Because I did one lot of six and none hatched and now I have done twelve. Four were duds, and I’m not sure about another four.

Also were your eggs moving by the end of day 19? Sorry for all the questions. I just really don’t want another lot to go bad.

No they are not. But 1. I was hatching in winter
2. I had a cheap incubator
