Ok. Cause we are on day 23 and it stinks in there!I toss them into my compost bin. I try to crack them, but if they don't break when they land, turning the compost usually takes care of it.

Eggtopsy in the compost pile.What does everyone do with the eggs that didn't hatch in there incubator ?

They should be fine with a 24 to 36 hour rest. Most of the rigor leaves in the first 24 and then the amount of tenderizing diminishes over time. If you leave the bone in, rigor leaves faster.
That's a bummer.
I have a lot of eggs squeezed into a LG right now and I know only about half will hatch, as long as temps hold steady from this point forward. Trouble is, about half are due in 2 days and 6 hours and there are 3 more settings in there but I had no choice. Part of the problem was many of the eggs were past their prime.
At least I didn't have to buy and ship them.

Some people shouldn't keep animals. Or should I say, most people.
Don't they all get ice water?![]()
Actually when it is hot I put a frozen water bottle in the founts but don't really use ice water. Too cold on a hot day and it can restrict the capillaries.
Foot baths with a frozen water bottle in them are great.
So I went into see our new baby chicks and one of the chicks got caught under the water where with its leg and now I think it's crippled. Any advice
