Pipping on underside of egg

[Windus]

Should I worry and/or do anything about an egg that has pipped on the underside. It is also sitting right on top of the water channel so I worry about it drowning. I have 7 more that have pipped today but they are all correctly on the top or side.

Do you mean that the pip is on the floor side? You can turn it over if you want (quickly) but it is fine. I would get it out of the water channel if possible?

Yes, that is what I mean, it is not actually in the water, there is a screen and a shelving mat with holes between it and the water. I had one pip on the underside last time but it did not do anything more than pip and died in the shell.

I would gently turn it over then.

Had one like that yesterday and it died. Turn it over now.

I flipped it over, too much stress!

Happy to report that I just checked on the eggs and the one I flipped is jiggling all over the place so it is still alive!
