    If an egg is bad, when would you smell it?
    I have never had this experience, that of feeling that I can smell an egg.

    When you open your incubator, you will defentily know you have a bad egg. No mistaken the smell.

    I've only had one and it was on about Day 8 or so...stunk up the whole 'bator and when I sniff-tested each egg, I seriously almost ralphed when I got to the bad one.

    I've had plenty of other eggs that went the entire duration and never did anything, but never got stanky.
