Bad smell?

I have a 1588 Electronic Hove-bator and have hatched several batches of bob white quail. There are 80 eggs in their 17th day and have started to smell badly. Had candled a few earlier and all was well. Temp is OK, humidity did drop a couple times. What could be wrong? Appreciate your advice.............

hi,
i think there are eggs in your incubator that are infertile. I've noticed sometimes that the infertile eggs start to get rotten inside, because there is no embryo growing inside , so the egg will start to rot. Don't worry so much just be happy with the chicks that hatch. Good luck!!

Thx, I just found some with the blood ring, so hope most of the others are OK! Last Thanksgiving 120 hatched; these are the next generation.
