Eggs skinny side up with live chicks

[merissalee16]

Ok so I am freaking out, I'm new to incubating eggs, and I put the eggs upside down in the incubator. They are about 2 weeks along I have multiple chicks that u can clearly see when candling that are alive and moving. Can I rotate them to the correct way without harming them more??? All of these eggs were fresh same day eggs. (If that makes a difference) I have some new eggs I just put in that are correct. I'm just terrified that if I flip the 2 week old eggs I may tramatize them.

You can lay them on their side if your not sure.

Welcome!

Sorry that I have no incubator experience, only hatches under a broody hen but those eggs seem to survive a multitude of position changes, knocks and kicks

Thanks everyone!! I laid them on their side and they both hatched, one didn't make it because it looked like it didn't absorb all of the yoke and I was not home when it happened the other came yesterday, and is a bit defored, but seems to be doing very well.I am trying to give as much supportive care as possible, and making sure we keep value of life best as I can. It is a hen so as long as she can give me the want to live I'm going to do my best to keep her alive. Thanks everyone!!
