one viable chick out of the four that hatched (the last chick shrink wrapped but was also not developed, also had eye issues.)
still have eggs unhatched from that batch; what should i do with them? i dont want burst egg mess in the incubator since its more or less in a sort of closet room off of our salon.
now i also have a group of eggs from the 17 to the 19 of december, basically all of them were put in when we actually got the temps working steadily . i candled today for the first time and alls i see are dark eggs and they all have basically the same air cell size. forgot to mark and check with the air cell diagram to 'age' the egg in reality. only one egg was clear thru.
now, the water in teh incubator is disgusting from the previous hatchings.the whole house smells like a hatchery . is there a way to at least remove teh bottom of the incubator and leave the eggs in a container with the heating and fan section on top, so i can wash out and possibly bleach the bottom. i could do it in about 15 minutes since bleach evaporates if using hot water. i know that eggs can be left un heated for a short amount of time, and they would be insulated/
so what do u all say?
should i eggtopsy the other eggs? or just trash them.?
