Should there be a smell coming from the incubator?

[farmer_lew]

When we open the incubator there is a definite sour smell coming from the incubator. I hear that if the eggs smell, chuck 'em. Is this true? Is there supposed to be no odor at all?

No Odor that I know of unless you have a rotting egg in there. Have you candled the eggs and do they all look fertile? How far along are they?

There should be NO odor.

Very carefully, identify the culprit and remove it - VERY delicately.

You may see one seeping, but by all means sniff them individually, and get that one out. But do be careful. You'll be much happier if you dispose of it without breaking it!

We only had two eggs left in a three egg set. Unsure which was the culprit of the odor. Candled both and didn't see any more development than at the last candling. That being said, we terminated the incubation. We shall acquire more eggs and reset in our new Exo-Terra incubator. Will set at least a dozen next time.

At least no one is wearing egg!

Don't you just hate it when they turn all black and gooey?
