Is tilting one side enough for this incubator?

[Croissant]

I had some call duck eggs shipped and wanted to find a way to rotate these without interfering too much and affecting overall humidity and temperature but was wondering as the rotator is in because I have one egg lying down that’s intact and well, would tilting one end be enough? I can’t really visualise it in all honesty but would each side eventually face the tilted side and which case it should be fine right? Picture below!

And another thing I’m slightly concerned about is it’s been 3 days including the day they were put in the incubator, but no development. Is that normal?

@WVduckchick - I believe you have this incubator?

Not so sure on the tilting you have going on. I have some shipped eggs in the incubator now and I hand turned them 3 or 4 times a day for the first 5 days or so and then was able to lay them down and use the auto turner.

As far as development day 3 is too soon to see anything yet. The EARLIEST I’ve ever been able to see was day 4. This time with shipped eggs it seemed like I couldn’t see anything till day 5-7 on most of them.

Oh ok that’s good to hear! I’ll leave them be till day 5 then!

The day you put them in is day 0
When they have been in for 24 hours, they have been in for 1 day, so we say it's day 1.

So If you counted the day they were put in, plus 2 more, then they are only on "day 2."

I've done chickens, not ducks, but my experience matches what @BabyGotQuack said: nothing visible until at least day 4 or 5, and possibly longer.
