Mama has hatched babies!!!

Were they all set at the same time? Because the clear ones are definitely duds if so.

Nothing like just jumping in, it's how we learn! Things happen, sometimes a chick can hatch and just fail to thrive right on the spot. It's not your fault.
It's sad, but there's so much to learn and experience, none of us can know it all!

Oh get rid of it. Put it in a ziplock and carefully dispose of it, you don't want it to explode. A stinky egg is rotten

I think I see veins, but wouldn't be able to say how far along it is.

Eggs 4, 5, 6 all look ok from what I can see.
Eggs 7, 8, 9 hard to tell, but I would still incubate those.
Egg 10 looks like it may be a dud, but you can give it a few days to see what happens with it too.

I'm certainly not the best at candling or incubating, I normally let a hen do her thing and get chicks that way
I'll tag in @CluckNDoodle to see if she has better input.

Is is fun to see the chick moving about in the egg though.

You may find this helpful, it's what I seem to look at if I incubate eggs. She does take you all the way through day 21 or so, so look through it and see what you think.

Oh my goodness that's a precious picture!

Do you have any poultry vitamins or polyvisol without iron that you could give the weak baby a few drops of?

Egg Candling! Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices. This is an easy to follow guide that I put together last year. Maybe this will be helpful to you?

It can be very hard to tell from images especially as the chicks get closer to hatch because it's dark where they're filling the egg, so I don't like making that call but if one is stinky then you should definitely discard it. When all else fails and I'm just not sure, the sniff test is my rule and if they don't pass, they go bye bye.

Yes lol DEFINITLY dont want any exploding eggs especially with how just the outside of it smelled and yes i will definitly be looking at it!!!!! Thank you so much!! And i believe they were out under her around the same time but i may have slipped that ome under her later on!!! And sorry the pictures kind of sucked i was trying to hold the flashlight/egg and take the picture at the same time

Rooster Booster will work! Polyvisol is the only thing you would want to get without iron because it's actually formulated for people babies, lol.

Okay!! Where do i find that at? I assume not tractor supply then

I was just giving options depending on what you had available to you. Poultry Cell by Rooster Booster is actually my favorite poultry vitamin, followed by Nutridrench and they're both available at Tractor Supply. I mention polyvisol without iron because most drug stores and some grocery stores have it which makes it easy access for people that might not have Tractor Supply.

Awesome lol I have both rooster booster and the nutridrench!!
