Ahhhh! I don't think I could have a incubator. Maybe I'll stick with the natural ones for a while. I'm very techamogically challenged

You too huh
I like my natural one too

She's doing a great job
Even though she had 12 eggs under her at the beginning and only hatched out 3 I think that was more Clydes doing or lack of doing should I say!
Will def let you know how I go.
I did more candling of the eggs that were in there and took a heap out, which def makes me think that Clyde just hasn't mastered his craft as well as I thought he had, as I'm now down to 12 eggs.
I've taken 14 out in total now & there is till a few I'm dubious about.
I might do some more candling today.
There's even one egg I think might be rotten, but I'm not 100% sure.
How can you tell if an egg has gone rotten? Should it omit a smell? There is def a smell in the incubator, which doesn't smell good, but I don't know if it is from all the eggs or if its from one. I picked up the egg in question & candled it & it was dark inside but I wasn't sure if that was chick or not & I tried smelling it but couldn't tell if the smell was from the incubator or the eggs was the culprit.
Opinions?..
