Casportpony if your asking about peacocks you place them on sides

I incubated them on their sides, but I've been storing them pointy end down. Just seen a couple of posts lately where people have said to store pointy end up.

this is my first peafowl incubation! I have them pointy side down in an egg turner that keeps them at about a 45 when turned each time...I bought 6 eggs 1 wasn't fertile and 2 quit right after I saw veins...these last 3 are due 7/8 and are growing like crazy...I can get them to move if I tap on the shell!

This is my first year using an incubator, so I have no idea what I'm doing, lol, I just want to know what position they should be stored in.

• Is it pointy side up or down?

Most people here incubate them on their sides, I got that...

Im reallt not sure either bc ive been told both ways,so I did 24 hrs pointed end up,now putting in incubator,duck eggs been pointed end up for 4 hrs n now turning to pointed end dwn.also told to cut bottom of carton egg bottoms out for air supply flow,good luck on which u choose,bc im learning as u n its FRUSTRATING!

 

[Heidisgran]

I don't have any experience so I tried looking it up on line...the only info I could find was on their side and keep turning them as though your incubating until you incubate

Have a simple question???? Has anyone seen a peahen dig a slight depression so she can either lay an egg,or roll an egg into that depression so it's pointy side down before??
