When egg goes bad.. how long before it starts stinking? explodes?

[Hennypen]

I don't have this problem but wanted to know about how much time I had to get the bad egg out if it is bad before it starts stinking and explodes.

depends some just leak for a while and others I guess blow up (that has not happened to me yet) you will know if one is rotten as it will STINK if you find one (usually by sniffing it out or seeing leakage) then remove all the good eggs and put to the side (if you have a second bator just put them in that one) and then put a few paper towels and a plastic bag ontop of the egg, go outside with the bottom part of your bator (this way if it does blow you wont ruin your floor or furniture) and then while keeping it covered with several papertowels and the bag remove the egg and quickly put into a garbage bag and tie up. The egg can blow at any time so work carefully.
