I've seen pics of eggs during hatch both laying on the side & in the upright position in cartons.
I have heard that you lay eggs on the side so the chick can get into position for hatch.
I have also seen pics of cartons of eggs with almost all eggs hatched.
Has anyone had more sucess one way or the other?
Does anyone feel it helps the hatch rate or lower it?
For what reason do you position the hatching eggs the way you do?
I'm on my 4th hatch now, and am trying placing the eggs on rings during hatch. (much like the rings you use when drying dyed easter eggs). It seems to take up less space in the hatching portion of my bator.
Any thoughts or opinions are welcome!
