Is it important to lay the eggs down when hatching??

[KnightslilAngel]

I'm using an egg carton to turn my eggs. Tilting the eggs from side to side.
this was because my eggs arrived with ruptured air cells.
Now its day 26 and i've stopped turning them for a day now and i want to know if its safe to just keep them in the egg carton or should i lay them down???

one i cant lay down because the air cell hasn't reattached its self yet D:

but one of them i can see the baby trying to break through the air cell internally. Should i lay it down with the air cell slightly up? i think it might be rocking too. this is one of the smaller eggs and the other 2 look like they are going to be on time or a day late.
The first one, who I've names Squigglee, is very active in there. i can see its feet moving on the bottom

Any information helpfull.
Incubated them at 45 - 50 untill day 25 Let the humidity drop from time to time purposely to make sure the egg didn't absorb too much water. Temp from 95 - 99 now stable at 98 with 75 - 80 humidity :3

I have hatched both ways, I prefer under a hen, but in bator in carton or on side both work good.

What kind of eggs are you hatching? Normally turning is stopped 3 days prior to expected hatch.
