Going into lockdown, how to position eggs?

[Trish1974]

This is my first time hatching. Tonight is lockdown night. They are in an automatic turner, so I am going to take them out this evening and lay them on the bottom. Do I need to position them a certain way, like large part of air cell up or down? If it matters, the air cells are not as big as they should be. I've had a heck of a time controlling humidity.

I also have one egg that has the air cell on the side, but the chick in there seems to be alive and kicking. Anything special I should do for this egg?

I would appreciate any and all advice regarding lockdown!

I just lay my eggs on their side. The one with the air sack on the side, I would position air sack up. Good luck with your hatch
