How should I position my duck eggs in the incubator during lockdown?

[Quackmeister]

I'm on day 21 with 2 of my Mini Appleyards eggs. (Started with 6) Lockdown will be here before I know it and I can't seem to find anything online about how to set/position them once lockdown starts. They are on an egg turner so I will be removing that in 5 days if not sooner. Should I lay them on their side, or should I find a way to keep them sitting the same way they are on the turner? I'm super excited but also nervous, I do not want to mess this up.

Any advice is appreciated!

Lay then on their side with the air cells upwards. So they can pip out..


Best wishes....

Thank you @chickens really . I wasn't sure if it would negatively affect them going from the turner to on their side.

No problem..... Lay on their side, candle and see which way the air cell is laying..It should take up more of one side.......Lay that side upwards because they pip from the side and zip counter clockwise upwards.........Best wishes..
