Egg storage for hatching

[MomFoldingLaundry]

I just set some eggs to hatch, and realized I’ve been storing them pointy end up.

They are less than a week old. Do you think I reduced the hatch ability so much by storing them that way that I should scrap it and just collect more eggs?

Or does it not make too much difference if the eggs are pretty fresh?

Did you rotate them while they were sitting around?
I would leave the batch in the incubator. Candle at 7-10 days and go from there.

How did this turn out? How was the hatch rate?
