Noticed detached cell on day 6 of incubation with shipped ameraucana eggs

[ILoveMyDucks123]

Hi!
So I'm on day 6 of incubation with my 4 shipped ameraucana eggs.... I noticed they were funny looking at first but since I'm a rookie, I didn't do the maths.

So the situation is that I'm on day 6 and I've been rotated them with automatic egg turner every 6hours since day one.

They SEEM to all be developing (even though I don't see much in the eggs) but I would like to put all the odds on my side now... I did some reading, so today I did put the eggs with pointy side down in egg carton.... But I'm wondering if there is something else I could do... How do I rotate the eggs not that they are in that position? do I rotate at all? do I stop for a couple of day to try and have the air cell settle?

Eggs must be rotated every hour- this is crucial!! There isn’t really a method to rotating them and a hen just jiggles them around.
You are correct for storing them pointy sided down.
Can you send a picture of your incubator please, and I can help from there

A picture of the egg being candles would be excellent as well

Hmm ok. Cross 4 different sections of the egg- and put them on their side. Change the cross facing up every hour or so

Eggs that have a loose aircell I have not rotated the first 3 days, I had a bad one from across the country NC. It hatched out fine. The prettiest girl in the world. (didn't rotate the first 7 days.)

So, I put them back on their sides? I mean removing them from the carton? I thought they were ok pointing end facing down.

Sorry I'm French Canadian, I might just not understand well.

They are fine in the carton, let them settle for 2 days and then put them on their sides and rotate them every hour in the carton. It works fine in a carton.

I’ve shipped eggs and had loose air pockets, this always works for me.

Alright got it! Thanks for the advice!

I’m hoping this works for you! The key is patience with hatching! Just think of the reward at the end
