Need Advice on smell in bator-Day 17 and 9

[superstarfarm]

I have bantam eggs on their 17th day and quail/pheasant on their ninth day in my bator. I know, I know right there is a problem I just got a little out of control after I bought my Little Giant. Yesterday I noticed a slight smell when I opened the bator to turn the eggs. Candled them, most look good. The pheasant are to dark but they are only on day 9 so I wouldn’t think them rotten. I am worried that this is the quiet before the storm. If I have a rotten egg explode I will cry. My bator sits in the middle of the house where I run my daycare. The children’s diapers are bad enough but a rotten egg might put me out of business. LOL.

Please someone tell me this is normal….

You need to pick up each egg and smell it and when you find it thow it away quickly. That is the only way I was able to tell which coturnix egg was bad in mine. As soon as I took it out the smell in the bator went away so it was only 1 egg bad in mine.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...I just smelled them all and had one nasty pheasant. I double bagged it and broke it open, green slime everywhere. I have learned so much from this site but I think this was a real life saver
