Is it normal to stink in the bator when...

the babies start hatching?? My babies started hatching on Saturday morning and today, Monday morning, it smells stinks in there.

Yes, there is always a stench associated with hatching. If it smells like a rotten egg stench then you should be very careful. You could have a very rotten egg in there starting to weep before it explodes.

It's Ok it is normal to smell a little but not stink. When they hatch there is some birthing material left that may put off a slight odor, after all it is almost 100 degrees in there with high humidity, and that is perfectly normal.

Ok, good. It isn't a rotten eggs smell (i know what that one smells like, had rotten goose eggs last year) It is just smelly..maybe not stinky, but smelly.
