You can incubate them just how your doing so. Where did you read such a thing?

I incubate mine like you have yours all the time with great success.

You are supposed to STORE the eggs fat end of the egg facing upwards.

Maybe you just mis-read?

Good luck!

Some incubators recommend incubating eggs in the vertical position, some recommend the horizontal position. It depends upon the manufacturer. If you have a home-made incubator, you are the manufacturer

and you can lay those eggs any which way you wish. Vertical or horizontal, whichever you please.

It is true you should STORE eggs vertically, with the pointy end down. And if you are storing hatching eggs until you get enough of them to put into an incubator, they should be stored vertically and turned or tilted at least 3 times a day, more if possible, while you are waiting to get enough to hatch at once.

Your eggs are just fine on their sides.
