    Ok I read over what u said again..that's good to know..bc I was thinking both pips would b at the same spot. But It was just worrying me that keeping it on one side was making it slide away from the low point of the air cell.

    Sorry for being confusing! Lol. I don't really know what I'm talking about. But no..it's the first picture.. the dark area dips down away from the air cell a lot.

But i kno it has to move in position to hatch..but it seems like...

    The pics are front, side and back view..the first one of the front where the air cell is lower..you can see the dark area moved down some to a point. It just moved like that when I stopped turning..not sure if that is significant..but that's not the aircell itself being that low..just the dark...

    I started incubating may 5th. And to be honest, I don't have an incubator..I wasn't expecting to be fostering the egg and wasn't very prepared so I worked with what I had. I'm just an animal lover and couldn't stand to leave the egg for dead..I created a homemade incubator with a container, heat...

    Yes, the air cell does dip down on one side pretty far..as time went on it got further and further down on that one side. I can attempt to take a pic while candling, but I'm not sure how well it will work. No moving around when I do float test..just kinda bobs with the water. After being this...

    I have been incubating an abandoned duck egg. I'm completely new at this, but I've done hours of research about how to incubate eggs. This website has helped a lot! Up until hatch time my egg has been developing fine. I had two to begin with, but two weeks ago one of them started sweating out a...
