I have 6 chickies hatched so far out of 21 eggs. Day 21 today with good temps and humidity, no new pips. My question: The incubator smells like a wet diaper. Not necessarily foul, but not exactly pleasant either. Is this just the normal hatch smell or should I be looking for a stinker egg?

Thank you!
 
Incubators do develop a certain funk while the eggs are hatching. That's normal.

If it really begins to smell foul then start looking for your stink bomb and get it out of there before it goes.
 
Hope it's not a stinker...
