Quick question for all the experts --

It's day 22 and one of my eggs is bad and is stuck to the clutch so I'm having issues removing. The other eggs all have veins and this one is just stinking up the tub...

Do I need to somehow cut and remove it from the clutch or should we just leave it in there?

I've been reading a lot of posts about people leaving it in there since the other eggs naturally protect themselves, but the smell worries me...
