Hello!
I decided on a whim to throw eggs of varying ages, some probably a couple of weeks old that have been refrigerated, into my incubator because our favorite silkie hen was killed and I’m hoping for a last ditch effort to hatch out one of her babies, otherwise I wouldn’t even be bothering.
They are on about day 3.5 and I can see veining and growth in almost all of them but I noticed the yolks are free floating around in the eggs. I keep finding differing opinions as to whether this is an issue. Does this mean my air cells are detached? Should I not be turning them? Storing them upright instead in the incubator or just continue as normal?
Thanks for any advice!
