incubating positions

[andy vogel]

Dear BYC,
I am getting back into the chickens, and are currently in about the 8th day of incubation. the incubator i have is designed to hold the eggs in an upright position. but i like to incubate them on there side, so its more like how they are in nature. is this ok? thank you very much! hope to here from some of your answers.
Sincerely,
BYC member

I incubate all mine on their sides, as, same with you it's how chickens have hatched for thousands of years! So obviously their can't be a probem with it. Good luck!
