Mine had or has a bit of a smell to it also. I think it has to do with the higer humidity. It doesn't stink or anything but does have a semll to it. Do you see any eggs weeping? I have opened mine to remove the chicks and hatched egg shells it recovered the lost humidity quickly.

I dont see any weeping. And I agree, the smell doesnt stink but it does have an odor. I am just so nervous because this is my first hatch and it totally emptied my pockets

my first hatch of guinea eggs went ok but not what i had hoped for. Out of 18 eggs i got 9 happy noisy little pearl keets. 50% is not bad for my first ever hatch but i was hoping for a little better as the eggs were all from my guineas and were all fertile. But either way you look at it I have 9 new cute little noise makers. pics will be coming.

I wonder if thats why mine are so late! My temp was down as well and these were due the fifteenth. I think Im going to give them till next saturday if they dont smell, then im candeling, opening, and tossing.

out of 52 only 20 some didn't hatch, that's shipped eggs and late hatch, so I'm happy
