Smelly egg?

I wouldn't assume it has gone bad. I'm not sure you can smell a no good egg unless it is really really bad. I've had eggs go bad without any noticeable smell and I have a pretty keen sense of smell. What day are you on? Usually I compare questionable eggs against eggs I know are developing for sure. On day eight the air cells should be pretty defined and you may even see the embryos moving unless your eggs are really dark.

 

You said you had them out to candle them. What did you find on that one when you candled it?

 

i have a bantam that's broody too. She has 8 eggs under her and I candled one and it smells. Is it bad?

 

Eggs that are about to hatch take on a smell, almost like a boiled egg smell to me, that being said, if its early on in incubation I wouldn't personally trust it to leave it be.. I have come across two rotten eggs in my almost year of incubation, both times without question I removed the eggs. A rotten egg should not be left to possibly explode and harm the other eggs, also a broody may chip at the egg causing it to seep or leak out.. Nope, nada, no way, egg gets tossed ASAP.

 

I bought 6 eggs and two of them hatched in the 19th day.. It's day 23 now and the others haven't hatched. What shall I do? Also, what hay is good to out in the brooder??

 

Honestly, I would suggest leaving them be even now. Let the broody do her job. Go out on Day 21 or 22 and see if there are any chicks from the farthest-along ones. If so, you might want to remove them so she keeps sitting until the others hatch, then slip the first ones back under her at night after the rest have all hatched.
