I would say tip the carton side to side lengthwise. Put something under the bottom to lift it. Enough of an angle to move the yoke.

Why are you using a carton...foam or cardboard?
What kind of incubator do you have?

What I do is put eggs in paper carton... point down...prop something under the side of the incubator... I use a foam roller... two or three times a day I switch sides... my incubator doesn't ever set level... I add water through a hose i installed, I have to do it more often but other than that it works... I hardly ever have to open incubator that way

Hi, I'm currently trying this method. Do you by any chance have a picture of what yours looks like. This is my setup and I'm tilting the entire incubator about 45 degrees 3x a day. I just want to make sure it's enough rotation. Thanks!

I’m too late for sure sorry just saw the post ... any tilt is enough it’s just to keep the fluid from drying and sticking to the shell... did your incubation work out? How many?

Yep! They are hatching right now. 6 out, 8 pipped out of 21 so far. They are due today. Thanks!
