The chicken eggs I incubated did not hatch. On day 22 I candled them and took out all but 13 eggs. The eggs that I took out appeared to have died in the early days of incubation time frame. I left the remaining eggs until day 25. On the 25th day I turned the incubator off. I felt like I had to open the eggs to see how far they had developed. The reason I left these eggs until day 25 was because the eggs appeared to be full when I candled them. Of those eggs, two were rotten (I'm pretty sure this is where the term stink bomb was invented). There was only one egg that had developed like it should have. The baby chick was dead but it was fully developed.
