how to place eggs in automatic egg turner

[Lroach711]

This may be a dumb question...but which direction do I need to place my eggs in the automatic egg turner? I have an LG turner. Thanks!

What's that saying? The only dumb question is the unasked one.

Yes, pointy end down. Sometimes you have one that's almost round- candle it and the end with the aircell is the rounded one and goes up.

What if you have already started with them pointed up

Then you need to turn them over so that the small end is pointed down.

"pointed end" down

Good thread. I'm awaiting my eggs this week and then ill be incubating too.

I put my eggs in my incubator a week ago (small end up), I found this and turned them the other way. Is it to late?

They'll probably turn out ok. Having them upside isn't ideal for them, but neither does it mean they'll all die. I wouldn't worry too much.

Just candled 11 and 10 look great! You can see the embryos moving

excited to see our new babies lol

OK cool .. I am on day 2 of lock down ... They get turned every 90 minutes I believe !!

If you are in lockdown, they shouldn't be being turned. You stop turning at day 18 and higher the humidity to at least 65%.

Thanks! I thought I'd read it somewhere but couldn't find it or remember what it said

I should be getting my first hatching eggs hopefully tomorrow! Can't wait!
