I have my eggs laying with the lowest dip in the air cell facing up. This little ducky decided to pip toward the floor instead of the sky an not inside the air cell. Do I just leave it alone, do I risk it and open the incubator and turn him to make sure he has air and turn him skyward?

I always turn them quickly. I’m worried of them getting suffocated, but either way should be fine.
Update: picked up to turn but candled quickly and see that he/she is now into the air cell, but the pip broke the shell not the membrane. However the membrane in the pipped spot is yellow and has a dark brown almost burnt looking spot on it...

Dark brown isn’t usually a good sign. What is your humidity at?
