Moving an incubator with eggs in it?

[TheAngryEagleKiwi]

I just found out that there'll be some people coming over to check the radiators this tuesday and my incubator (a Janoel12 with autoturner) might be standing in a bad place for this and I may need to move it.
The problem is that I have 9 eggs in it and I put them in there July 24th, so I'm not sure if I can move it without risking harming the developing chickens. If I do move it, I'll probably just take it to another room or at the very least to another part of the room.

So what do you guys think? Should I move it or let it stay where it is and hope no one accidentally bumps into it? (There is some room to get inbetween the desk it's standing on and the radiator, but I'm still worried.) If I move it, it'll probably be this weekend or is that too late?

Thanks beforehand!

I'd say you are fine to move the incubator as long as you don't jostle it around too much. Are they in a turner? If not place them in a egg carton fat side up during the move. I move my eggs around a lot when I candle so the move to another room should be fine.

Thank you so much for the reply and it makes sense, as, like you said, it's not a problem to move them when candling. I just want to make sure, since I'll be moving all of them at once and it just sounded riskier to me.
Yup, they're in a turner (it's a kind were they lay on the side rather than one of the ends up)
I'm gonna try to move them in the weekend and try to keep them as still as possible during the move. Wish me luck!

Since they are on their side I'd go ahead and put them in a carton for the ride to the next room so you won't have a accidental egg mess. Good luck and happy hatching!

Oh dear, I didn't even think of that. Good thing you told me, otherwise, I might've messed up and had a mess of crushed eggs and that would be awful!
Thank you!

You're welcome.

I've bumped my incubator before when I didn't have a turner and eggs rolled everywhere! Makes me paranoid now lol

Oh, I can imagine, I would've been paranoid too if that happened to me haha
