Incubating Question

I'm in the process of building my first incubator and have a question about how far the eggs need to move for turning purposes I have looked at many of the designs here some tilt and some roll the eggs around which one is best for a good outcome?
 
I'm moving this weekend how can I move the incubator which is full of duck eggs ?
You can get an adaptor to run it off the car while enroute. Plugs into the thingy -- a power point adaptor. If it is only a short time you don't need that, just get to destination with in a hour or two covered in insulating blanets or towels. Either way, secure the eggsin egg cartons so the dont roll around and get damaged.

Both work fine. If you are not using a premade "turner" then IMO developing a rolling design is much easer.
 
I have a another question one of my duck eggs externally pip yesterday and didn't zip so this morning I decided to go ahead and assist it but when I'd remove some of the egg I noticed the inner membrane in still attach so I didn't touch no more I put it back in the incubator. Is this normal ? what should I do?

I just put my duck eggs in lockdown 2 days ago. One egg has developed a blue/gray coloration on the shell where the air sac is. Have any of you experienced that before? Is the duckling dead? One other egg has a small blue dot on the side. They were completely white at lockdown day 1. The temp dropped to 97 for most of the first day while I was away. I was able to bring it back up to 99 but I wonder if this affected the eggs. The incubator maintained a steady 100 degrees right up until lockdown (of course I would have problems when I am not suppose to open the door!). The humidity is at 70-75%. Both eggs showed movement when candled before lockdown. Should I remove them from the incubator? I definitely don't want an explosion if they are bad. Advise is much appreciated! Here is a picture of the blue coloration (bottom left egg):
