i'm sorry to ask you this question with my duck eggs on 18th days but i think if i'm wrong then i could practice the right way to my chicken eggs that now just reach the 4th days. and i'm extremely sorry if you think this question is too easy (not for me) and useless (but useful for me).
i have search this forum for the right position of turning, and i found no one that could be good, so i'm (maybe) repeating to ask the right way to turn, this thread just created only to ask this matter although i have ask it in my other thread.
i include 4 photos that showed 2 eggs from my "village chicken". with description.
first position:
those two eggs at FIRST time placed with small end down and lean to left.
the SECOND time, the eggs were "turned" with still and always till 21st (of course there is no turning on 18-21) days with small end down and lean to the right.
"conclusion, we just "touch" the eggs and make it to lean to opposite side 3 times a day."
second position (the same egg) :
the egg is positioned to end always down and we just left it "sleep" like that. (FIRST time)
we make a "movement" by "lift" it from "ground of bator" then rotate it so the side that "sleep on floor of bator" now located at the top and the top now "sleep on floor"
"conclusion, we must "lift" it and change the position, the upper now is on lower and the lower is now on upper/top"
now, the question :
1. which one is used by you (thread reader)?
2. is that good (hatching rate)?
3. which one is recommended by you for me to use (with/without reason)?
4. is it safe to change the "way of turning" of my 18th days duck eggs and 4th days chicken eggs in bator? (ex: if i used first position and now after read all comment i change to second position)
this isn't test or examination
, just hope maybe any BYC er volunteered to share their knowledge in turning problem.
i'm sorry can offer nothing to everyone that help me on this thread except the opportunity to see "village chicken" (i'll make this breed with my name later (maybe)
) eggs in my country since USA prohibited sending or receiving any eggs outside from USA.
there is no thread "flooding" as soon as i have many answer enough so i can decide which to use, i'll ask the admin to close/remove this thread by changing the subject "please remove/close this thread". thank you for all your help and answer. good luck for everyone who is setting now (without power failure like mine
)
@ admin : please remove this thread in order to prevent thread flood. thank you so much.
note: i sadly said that there's only 4 peoples in BYC that incubate the eggs.
