I am on day 21 for my shipped eggs. I decided to hatch upright in cut down cartons after doing some reading. Tonight, I took the two dried chicks out due to crowding, and did a quick pick up and check of eggs that I could not see a pip on. I found two eggs with pips on the wrong end. At this point would they be safer laying down, or left in the carton. I haven't even contemplated assisting yet, but will keep a close eye on these two. What actions would lead to the best outcome?

Edit: Both are still chirping

Thanks!
Amy

Very true.  I've had one pipped since last night, this is my first experience with a wrong end.  Is that more common with shipped eggs?


I can't say, I have hatched plenty of my own eggs and had plenty of wrong end pips can't say I have noticed any increase in shipped egg hatches, but detached air sacks (quite common in shipped eggs) could likely aggravate the issue...
