egg position for hatching

[bugkiller]

I will be hatching eggs for the first time starting next week. I will be putting them in the egg carton and tilting them back and forth in a piece of pipe to rotate them but when I lock them down do I leave them in the carton? on a angle?? or just flat??

I left mine in the cartons and had 9 of 13 hatch

I have a question maybe one of you can answer

I am hatching eggs for the first time,quail and chicken to be exact. I think I made boo boos. After reading different posts, I think my eggs are upside down in the incubator. I have about 7 or 8 days left before hatching day. Should I set them the other way?

Either will work just fine but it does seem like left in the carton can make it easier to see the pips.

So what way should they be pointing in the carton??

I had one that was upside down until day 6, both ends looked the same, so I didn't know until I could see the air sac. That chick did not make it past pip. Just wanted to warn you they may not make it...but I hope they do.

Well good news, I lost count after 16. They won't be still. More are pipping. Quail!
