When to throw away unhatched eggs, and what to do with them?

[bel]

I toss the blood rings, open late quitters to find out why they didn't hatch. Clears get tossed unless its interesting and not stinky I hollow and keep the empty shells(just did that with a clear sebastopol egg.)

Wild chicks hatched today, hen left one egg that didn't hatch. I picked it up, the shell smells. Is the church probably already dead?

I have had chicks hatching since the 4th the last 2 hatched yesterday. There are 3 eggs left that the hens have lost intrest in sitting on since the chicks need ro eat.. I hear movement for sure in one of the eggs... I put them in the incubator when I found them cold for the 3rd time today... any advice on what I should do??

I have 4 eggs that did nothing and now they are smelling up the house still in the incubator im so reluctant to throw them out too just in hopes that maybe they will miraculously just pop out.

They EXPLODE if you wait too long.
I put all unhatched if in a big coffee can in freezer until I throw them out I the day the garbage goes out, that way no nasty stink.

Get them out of the house. That smell is bacteria. Throw them in the garbage, out in a field, bury them in the garden or something. You don't want them contaminating your incubator with that bacteria.

Yep. It's not fun, but a reality of incubating eggs. They don't always all hatch.

Ha! Gotta love spell check. It can make things pretty entertaining at times.
