I am covered in exploded rotten broody egg!! I tapped one of the eggs and boom it happened

I hope you figured out how to sniff first, never tap. LOL I am lucky that my sniffer works so well, I can smell them as soon as I walk in the room when one is in the incubator, or if a hen is on one in the coop (which I don't allow any more).

Thanks. I felt bad for the broody who had to sit on that smelly thing!! I have never seen u on this thread! R u new or just dont post much?? Where r u from?

The really smart hens will push bad eggs out and not continue to set on them.

That is spelled Theri, and that would be me. LOL!!!!

The above rule does not apply to turkey hens....

Welcome to the thread KlopKlop. You are quite fortunate to be so close to a source of real quality chickens of many breeds. I of course am referring to Duane Urch or Urch/Turnland. If I was close to that operation I would be tempted to keep way too many different breeds and too many chickens. I might even get up to half as many birds as Duluth Ralphie.
