Egg rolled should I move it?

[Midwestmomma]

So we have 1 day left! I regret not putting in shelf liner too late now. This egg rolled in to center but it right below vent hole so I could use something to push it away
Should I? Im worried it won't be able to hatch if it pips against that center wall. What would you do ?

I would personally leave it just because you are in lockdown right now. I think the chick might be able to roll itself out of the way of the vent hole.

Should be fine. Good luck!

Likely no problem but you could just tip the whole incubator so the egg would roll away. Careful keeping any water in a reservoir.

The chick should be fine and can turn itself in the egg in order to unzip the shell and ultimately kick out of it
Think of a mama hen... An egg, before it hatches, could roll at any time underneath her accidentally or even purposefully if she moves her body in the nest, but the chick always finds a way to hatch (unless it's physically unable or weak).
Let nature take it's course...Just like in nature, an egg doesn't have to be in a certain area of a nest or on a certain side, or perfectly positioned in any way really, in order to hatch because there are no humans there to correct it and the mama bird probably doesn't care I hope this helps and makes sense

Oh and update us if/when it hatches

Welcome to BYC! If I were in your shoes, I would add the shelf liner and move the egg. If you're worried about opening the incubator, don't be, you will not cause any harm opening it and adding the liner.
