[Kellyjenny]

Wonder if anyone could help me. I went on a thread and haven't seen any answers back. So I am wondering if anybody can give me advice my dad's still air incubator with the quail eggs this morning two of the eggs exploded. There supposed to go into lockdown today. Anything can be done or is it a lost cause.

I don’t have any experience with this, but I will see if I can put a helpful link in here that might answer your question.

Oh no!!! Wow. I've never had an egg explode before, so I can't speak from experience on that.
I would take everything out, and clean the incubator thoroughly. Is there anything dripped on the eggs, and if so, how much? I would not toss any eggs. This late in the game they could definitely still hatch. Keep me posted.
Sorry this reply is so late, lol. I lost my thread AGAIN.

I have a question for you, @CluckNDoodle .
So, first off, my 8 eggs still look wonderful. It's day 8 today.
But the Olive Egger that I patched almost looks scrambled. It has more of those sticky drop things on it too, so I pulled it and I'm going to sanitize the incubator. Then the Australorp, which didn't develop, got the spots too. It's a nice looking egg, not scrambled or anything. I pulled it. I don't understand what these spot things are though. They rub right off, Idk.
What are they?!

They’re great! A total of 9 ducklings now! Oh my gosh all they do is eat, drink, and spill their water EVERYWHERE!!!

No, it's dried. They're just like little foamy drops that seeped out or something. It's strange.
