Incubator

Hi, I have 5 duck eggs doing well in my incubator, one hatching next week and the others with a bit longer to go. I have had to lay 3 of them flat because they don’t fit properly and I now want to move them into a new incubator but am scared it might harm them to go from lying on their sides to sitting upright? Also they have been incubated at 38 degrees Celsius and I would like the new incubator to be set at 37.5,will the decrease in temperature be okay for them? Thank you so much for any advice.

I don't think that the move and slight temperature change will have a negative impact on their viability.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

Not duck eggs, but I started chicken eggs laid flat/slightly upright in a homemade incubator for 8 days. Didn't like the temp readings so got a new incubator. I didn't think it'd be good to put them in upright after starting that way so I removed the Turner & continued as started on their sides, rotating 4-5 times a day
