Thanks. good I'm on the right track then :) I want to put them on their sides now, but I'm worried about the aircells.. they're more stable now but not completely. Maybe a few more days..
Congratulations on the growing babies! It's so exciting when you first see that and know for sure. From what I understand when it comes to detached air cells the benefit of putting them on their side is really for the hatch. I had one completely correct itself after about 2weeks, it wasnt budging at all when I candled so I put it on its side for not even 24hours and it turned into a saddle cell! So in my opinion I would leave them in the carton during incubation and then if its totally sable when u candle for lockdown then put em on their side for hatch. Keep us updated on the babies development!
 
OK I definitely need to turn more often, and maybe raise humidity! after opening some of the dead eggs it seemed like the yolk was stuck to the aircell, and some had little pink babies :( Stupid shipping! I now have 8 living. one of them quit.
 
today is day 15.. getting nervous..
