Update from the incubator!

Just candled, technically day 6 but tomorrow I'm gonna be super busy so I figured tonight would be prudent. Out of 24 eggs only 4 duds!

There are a couple air cells that look a bit on the smaller side, and there's only one egg I'm actually worried about. Um... So I guessed wrong on which side the air cell was when I originally set this one and it's probably my best looking embryo, he's just... Developing on the wrong side/upside-down. Should I flip the egg so it's air cell up? Or just keep it as is embryo side up for now?

I've never seen any "studies" about the correct thing to do with an upside down egg. It happens to me sometimes and if it is early in the cycle (first candling at a week or so), I generally switch them to air cell up. But if they are closer to hatching, I leave them. Either way, I have not tracked whether these eggs hatch or not. I can't handle the idea that they should be culled, so I make a guess and hope for the best.
