Hard to tell but looks like there isn't blood . I don't think it is worrisome.

oh no my incubator cleans real nice i use dawn on the bottom and on the rack its antibacterial and scrub gently and RINSE ALOT OF TIMES to get out that funky odor

If you use vinegar diluted it helps with the smell a lot. Then a drop of bleach in water and a quick air dry... Works wonders!

Oh god no i cant stand bleach the smell just makes me want to hurl and i have got use to the smell of a foul incubator most of the time the smell is from chicks who died in the shells or it was from quiters in the first week and just looked like they had made it to week 2
