Hatching eggs started the wrong way

[Simmiechicks]

I started incubating eggs with the pointy side up till day 5 but found out now that it should be pointy side down, what should I do

that's a good question........................ I think it's early enough you can just flip them over? I typically incubate on the side, but that's just because my incubator isn't well designed.

Okay, thank you
Some are showing development so hopefully and egg cell still at blunt end

At this point I'd just turn them into the correct position. It sounds like the air cell is still in the correct position, in the blunt end. The big risk of storing them or incubating them pointy side up is that the air cell moves or distorts. If that happens it can mean problems with development but to me the bigger risk is during internal pip or external pip. That does not mean that this will always be a problem for each and every egg stored or incubated pointy side up but it does mean your risk of a problem is higher than it would otherwise be. Lots of eggs pip at the wrong end and still hatch but I don't like any risk if I can avoid it.

I'd continue turning them after flipping them. The blunt side will be up so turning them should not risk any further issues with the air cell. If anything, that may help a distorted air cell straighten itself out.

Let us know how it goes. I'd expect a decent hatch.
