Moving a brooding hen

[S&k ranch]

When I move my hens is it the small end of the egg down or the big side down?

Are you asking about the eggs in a nest? They generally lay on their sides.

When eggs are put in an incubator it matter which end is up if you are using an egg Turner. In a broody nest eggs are generally on their sides. I don't know if it matters in a bowl type nest. Usually they hatch out of the fat end.
