Smelly eggs

[Miniru]

Day 22 I had one hatch day 19 and one on day 20 but no sign from the other 6. It is getting a bit smelly in the incubator should I candle the eggs to check if any still viable? The 2 chicks that hatched are in the brooder. This is the first time I have done this so not sure if there should be a smell if there have been 2 hatched chicks..

 

[chickens really]

Yes..Definitely candle them..

Welcome to BYC! Congrats congratulations on your two chicks. If I were you I would candle the remaining six. If you can, post pictures of them being candled and we can help you decide if any are still viable.
