Incubator Smell

[willow_lane]

I came home today and was a little worried . My Hova-Bator has been keeping good temp and humidity and I am on day 10 of my quail hatch. The thing that has me worried is the smell. For some reason today their is a smell coming from the incubator. It is kind hard to describe the smell, it is not overpowering but it smell sort of rotten.

Is this normal?

Pick up each egg and smell them. You will find the culprit........when you do throw it away.

Day 10 Of The Hatch???? There's Probably A Great Many Culprits....

Pretty sure OP meant day 10 of the incubation

Carefully handle each one and smell it. If it smells bad, carefully discard it. Exploding eggs is a terrible smell to get out.

definently wan't to get the smelly eggs out soon. I once left them in for too long and one exploded in the bator. It gets all over the other eggs and is just a mess. Plus I think with that smell they are rotting and it can affect the other eggs with the bacteria they are growing.

sorry, yes day 10 of the incubation period.

Best to get the bad ones out of there as soon as possible so the others are not contaminated!
