Today, I received my first mail-order shipment of button quail eggs. When I candled them, four of the eggs appear to have two/broken air sacs in them, and one with a strangely-shaped air sac that basically saddles the entire upper half of the egg. Please excuse my pathetic graphic skills, but here is what they look like when candled...
I am going to let these eggs sit overnight and into tomorrow before setting them in the hopes that the air sacs may possibly correct themselves. However, if I find that they remain this way, is there a way that I can keep an upward angle on the egg while using the Brinsea Mini Advance incubator? On this particular incubator, the eggs lay flat on the turning table, so I am unable to use a carton to keep them upright. Is there a way that I can maybe tie a string of yarn around the egg on the upper end to keep it at a tilted angle without getting caught in the turner? Or, do any of you have any suggestions what I could possibly do?
Thanks so much for any input!
