Can I switch form laying on their sides to carton?

[quail kid1]

Hello,

Well I am incubating some chinese painted quail eggs, they are on day 2, now they are on their sides, can I put them in the carton method when I lockdown? Or do I have to continue on their sides?

Thanks,

I incubated my chicken eggs on their sides and then put them in the carton (pointy end down) for lockdown and hatching, it worked out great. My other new favorite thing is using rubber shelf liner over the wire rack--It gives the chicks secure footing and makes clean up really easy. Happy hatching!
