Well that was enlightening I noticed a stench coming out of the incubator unplugged it and took it outside being very careful not to allow any door water to leak on the floor which I'm sure was the source of the stench. When I open the incubator up two eggs that exploded inside the incubator I'm going to presume that means they were bad LOL so it was so much goop and goo that had partially solidified on the bottom of the water reservoirs that I just took it outside like I said scrubbed it out as quickly as I could because times a-wasting any eggs are Cooling

:sick Poor you.

I suggest candling more often, in a dark room with a brighter light, to prevent this next time.
 
Just candled remaining eggs. Bantum had red ring of death so knew was gone could not detect no discernable veining or embryo so suspect are done. Will continue incubating though suspect no joy. Think rough handlingin all

Think rough handling in all three batches was something I couldn't overcome. Will buy chicks from nearby central tractor. Hatch from them

This particular incubator is all digital I still believe best suited for a initial brooder. I have no ability to calibrate either temp or humidity currently set at 38C or 100F humidity alarms below 45%

What you do is test/calibrate other thermometers and hygrometers, note their accuracy differences and compare them to the incubators readings.
This is how I do it....it made my hatches much more successful, especially in a friends incubator which I discovered was off by 6-8°F:

Get some local eggs, shipped eggs are heartbreaking.

This.


This is extremely important.
I'm not too sure any incubator can be trusted...straight from the store.
