I’m so grateful I saw this post! But I had already thrown out the 2 oozing eggs when I saw this The one egg had started zipping 9 hours ago with no further progress so I’m hoping that mine were actually dead already
This has been a weird hatch of mostly locally bought hatching eggs. 4 chicks have already hatched, 1.5 days early. And a bunch more are pipping, but there hasn’t been any new ones hatching for hours. I’m getting scared nobody else will hatch..
THANKS SO MUCH for the advice on removal!

Just for future reference, whenever you suspect an egg will not hatch, you should candle it before you throw it away, to check for signs of life. If candling is inconclusive, I take a sharp paring knife and carefully chip a small hole into the air sac end, and look inside to make sure the chick is actually dead.
(I do this in my utility sink because I have read about exploding eggs, but I have never had that happen. I’m not cracking the egg wide open. Only making a small hole into the air sac pocket.)

But candling will usually detect if there is movement, and then you can put the egg back into the incubator without chipping a hole. And wait.

I wouldn't call that oozing. Looks like pre hatch poop that got pushed out as chick was turning to zip.

Was just going to say that. Definitely not ooze like a rotten egg. Happy that you checked first!
