Hatching eggs that were stored pointy side up question.

When I'm storing them before a hatch, I keep them in an egg carton in the basement (55-60 degrees) and turn them once a day. Sounds like what you do will work also. I was just reading somewhere on BYC where people were discussing keeping them on their sides the whole time since that's how a hen does it. Might be fun to look into it. My percentages have been pretty good so I'm not gonna change anything (who knows...the more I read, the more I learn, the more I change!).

lovin' the little chickadees!!!

Psst! That's probably why they didn't hatch!

I've had a couple bantam eggs incubate upside down because there was no clear 'right side up'. I didn't find out til they pipped!

From this experience, I'll be calmer about hatching these cuties. Since I only do a few, the emotions can run pretty strong.

There is a post here on BYC that I found recently giving advice on how to help restore shipped eggs that have been scrambled and/or eggs like these...stored incorrectly. She said to let them sit for a while in order to give it a chance at developing and hatching. She would then put them in the incubator but not turn it for a few days, and in doing this, she increased her hatch rate on the shipped eggs. Wish I would have read this sooner cause my shipped eggs from last month were scrambled....didn't/couldn't do anything

Love this site!!
