so i take took look at my chicks and the eggs are moving.

Then i sniffed and

did it smell. they r on lock down would i be able to candle to see which one it is or sniff each one without touching them??

Gotta sniff each one and remove the culprit before it explodes and you risk the whole hatch.

will it be ok to open the incubator. Also they all have the smell! What do i do?

Opening the bator should be ok

you have to smell each one
1 by 1

you will get the one that really ...really smells , you will notice the diference

Opening the 'bator to remove a bad egg is far far less damaging than leaving the egg in there to explode and contaminate the healthy eggs with bacteria.

Just be careful handling the eggs.

If any are oozing or leaking, remove them.

 

[CakePrincess21]

did u candle all of them? r u sure its the eggs smelling and not ur incubator?

 

[CakePrincess21]

no i thought u couldnt candle once in lockdown. The incubattor is new. i did have 3 rotten eggs that were smelling in day 7. maybe the smell got stuck inside?
