I forgot to turn my eggs before putting them in the incubator, are they no good now?

[Sire12]

I've been collecting eggs for a week and set them pointy end down but didn't realise until now that I was supposed to turn them every day, should I collect a new batch for incubating or are they still viable?

I never turned my duck eggs prior to putting them in the incubator & mine were fine. Just remember to turn them when they are in the incubator. Good luck!!!

You should be good. It’s suggested to rotate them but not a have to. I think it has to do with the air cell but not sure, but nothing to really worry about.

What day are you on?

What day are you on?

This is day 7 of collecting I was due to put them in the incubator today but I wanted to check first if they would be duds so I'm going to start them tomorrow

Hmmm? I'm not sure. I don't actually turn mine but tilt them. Are you hatching on their side or egg turner?

You should be fine. We took eggs that were in our fridge for more then a week, and most of them hatched just fine.

The incubator I'm going to use turns them automatically

Also I haven't been cleaning the eggs but sometimes they are a little bit dirty, here's a pic of an egg that I'm not sure if it's clean enough or not can anyone tell me if it's ok to put in the incubator, or if I can give it a tiny wipe?
