Other than smell of course....
I have a egg in my incubator right now on Day 22. No sign of a pip or movement and I haven't candled it yet (don't want to open the incubator too much). When it went it, it did not seem to have this brownish tint with brown dots (like pin points) all over it that has developed over the past day. I have smelled through the vent holes of the incubator and there isn't an unusual odor. What would you do? Are there ways to tell if an egg is bad minus the smell? I had one egg the last hatch that started oozing green/brown stuff which I removed but this one is not doing that. I would hate for it to explode all over the incubator - it ruin the whole hatch - but I also don't want to take it out and open it or dispose of it if there is nothing wrong. Just looking for any experiences you've had that might give me a clue....
