Not the way to start a morning.

Last week one of my hens hatched out 5 of the thirteen eggs that she has been brooding. Well this morning she hatched another by herself. i.e. she broke open a rotten egg!

I came back in the house gagging and almost throwing up. My DW declined assisting me in cleaning the brooding pen but I got it all taken care of and got the hen and chicks moved into a new pen. I then hopped on the bike and rode (pedaled) to work.

that would suck. Bet you woke up really fast with that. My son would have gotten sick right there in the coop and then tell me I need to clean the coop. After that he would stay out of the broody coop till all eggs are gone.

Smells like that in the am is something I would not wish on anyone!
forgot hope your day gets better!

It would totally make me hurl any time.

I totally sympathize!
I was trying to drill a hole in an ostrich egg with a hand powered drill. When I got to the last bit of shell, pressurized rotten egg shot out of the hole all over my face and kitchen ceiling! I ran with the egg outside to fresh air to gain composure. After a couple minutes of gagging, I tried to return to the kitchen only to find my dog licking it up, which sent me back outside to gag some more.

Sorry Moabite but...

Oh, gross!

That would ruin my day, I know I'd be queasy all morning.

I am so glad my computer doesn't have smell-o-vision.
