eggs turned wrong

[Maxe's mom]

I have 12 eggs in incubator. I just realized that some are in the wrong way. This is day 18. Will it hurt to turn them right at this point.? They are alive.

Well if they are chicken eggs lock down day is today on the 18th day. I would place them correctly an carefully and leave em. They will move around on their while unzipping. But id just pay attention when you hear peeps an movement of them trying to hatch I had an egg peep on the side that it was laying on. And it was very weak. Good luck!

If you have not done so, mark the air cells and then place them on their side for hatch. By marking the aircells, you will have an indication if they are pipping into the air cell, or the wrong end. Chicks move into hatching position starting at day 14, so I like to get them into a side lying position on that day, unless my air cells are too small.
