We have eggs in incubator with turner....So when I take egg turner out next Monday how do I position eggs...hatch date is 7/15
 
Candle them and the air sac should be tilted, put them on their side so that the lowest point of the air sac is facing up. Be sure to tell me how it goes!
 
I candled them today and I could see chick in big end and bubble in narrow end ....checked 3 out of 10 eggs
 
Candle them right before you put them in after you take out the turner. As for the egg(s) with the air sell on the wrong end, if all the eggs you candled are like that it could be the hen they came from or a detached air sell.
 
All I know is eggs are pointy side down and that is where air looks to be
 
Watched a few candling videos and candled egg shining my led flashlight in wide end and I saw babies moving around ....it was the sweetest thing....I have 9 buff Orpington babies
 
sorry but, I have never hatched chicks. You may want to post on the "incubation and hatching" thread
