A few newbie questions- hatching and curved toes

[Kiki]

This egg was in the incubator when I got them. We did not move them into mine. The air sac just does not show up like the other eggs do.

Can you say this a different way please. Are you saying you got an incubator with eggs already in it?

Once they are in the incubator I shine the light in the top of them. BUT it dawn on me this morning to check and see if the egg was set with the air sac on the bottom and that is what happened.

Can I just turn egg around so the air sac is on the top?

 

[Woodey2]

yes, A friend of mine collects them for me. It was two weeks before I got these eggs. So she put them into her incubator and I picked up eggs and incubator. Brought them home and plugged it back in. I have had three to hatch so far. I checked the chick in the egg this morning and its still moving.

So (not sure on hatching date), question can I turn the egg so the air sac is on top?

I can put the egg into my other incubator so it is laying on its side getting turned.

Help, just don't want to lose it.

Hey Woodey2, what happened? I am interested in hearing how your little cracked egg chick is doing, and the curled toed one too. Sorry I can't help you as I'm a newbie and don't even have my chickens yet. Just trying to learn.

The date on your last post is "yesterday at 3:10 AM" (I think this is Hawai'i time - so you are 6 hours later at 9:10 am) but still it was 9 hours ago... is everyone else out tending their flocks???

Cracked egg is taped up and waiting to hatch.
Curled toes : his toes are okay, but he holds up one of his legs. Any advice on how to help him please let me know.

This is my first hatch two months ago.

Yes it was the fat end, but air sac was at the other end.
