Should i keep these eggs?

[pek]

I have four eggs on the 27 day, i think one has died and the other have rather large dark places on them, and they smell like normal eggs just a little plasticy form the incubator

. Should i keep them and see what happens? i have six other eggs in there on the 5 day so keeping the incubator on is not a problem. i can post some pictures of candling if that would help.

I'd toss them and fast. I'd worry about bacteria getting to the new fresh eggs. I always sanitize my incubator in between sets too. I usually pull the plug at day 24 but know some people wait a day or 2 longer. Also have you ever had an egg explode on you? Not pretty and it would probably ruin all your new eggs..

Well bantam chickens are still chicken eggs.

I only asked because most duck eggs have an incubation period of 28 days. I just wanted to make sure everyone wasn't telling you to throw out the eggs and they were actually duck eggs.

But chicken eggs at 28 days, yes I would dispose of them.................sealed in something, ick.
