Good morning, or afternoon, or whatever time it is yall (I remembered)! Cruella has about 9 days left, and she's going strong for nowView attachment 3591449! I also present to you, the jungle hutView attachment 3591445

There she is, the egg sitting Diva!! Shes really making headway now! Go Cruella!! I am so egg-cited to see what she hatches! How are Electric Ladys eggs doing? This time next week you may hear them peeping in the eggs!!!

I guess it's going to be inverted phone day for me huh

Let that Greek humor fly.

Nope! That was a real, living nightmare!

A friend of mine recently dropped her BRAND NEW phone one of those Porta Potties. The septic people in charge of these street toilets sucked it all out and sent it back to her in a plastic bag. She obviously didn't want it back.

It's all good! The phone lived, thankfully!

Me too! I'm SO egg-cited! Electric Lady is doing good. One slight problem. When I open her, for a few seconds a not-so pleasant smell comes out. I know that can mean bad things for the eggs, but I candled them again, and tried sniffing them up close. The smell doesn't come from them. I should mention that the room itself has that smell, just not as amplified

Oh my goodness! Tat would be horrible! In more ways than one!!!

I also don't blame her for not wanting it back, but I'd at least try to save the sim card.

I often get funky smells from my incubator. It way just be bacteria from the moisture and since the air doesn't get cleared as well in a closed environment (even with ventilation) that could lead to the amplified odor.

Since your eggs are unwashed, they still have their protective bloom and will be fine.

I agree with @Canadian Wind there will be some smell from the eggs as they are cooking, even the machine itself will air off plastic smell, especially a new machine. As long as none of the eggs are cracked or turning a funky color, all should be good.

OK. That was what I was hoping. The room itself isn't well ventilated at all, and the humidity is usually on the high side (I always put in too much water). Thank you both for reassuring me!
