I don't know much about hatching, but I don't think that the egg should be cracked if it is not hatching

I don't know much about hatching either, but I agree with @25chickens. I also think the humidity might be a little too high in the incubator. Good luck with your hatch! Please tell me how it goes!

Edit: And welcome to BYC, @Vicvic!

What day are you on, it should only be 50% humidity or less for the first 19 days, then 75% afterward, you look like you have a rainforest in there. If it is less that day 18, then yes that egg is rotten...

The egg is 21 days today at 5pm. So it should have that moisture. But i just got that egg out. It was starting to stink up more. Rotten for sure. But thank you all. ✌

I saw you posted an update but i was going to say "it's rotten! Get it out!". Anytime an egg seeps fluid it's bad news. If you snif test it you'd have 100% certainty.

How are your other eggs looking? Were these shipped? Any pips yet?

I do 40- 45% humidity first 18 days, then 60- 65% during lockdown. Id remove that eggsif its cracked like that.

Posted my reply before I saw this. Good thing you removed it. Exploding egg smell is a hard one to get rid of.
