Polish egg: which end is which??

[chuckachucka]

help! My shipped Polish/Poland eggs arrived today and, after candling, one has a completely detached air cell. I've heard it might be possible to hatch it in an incubator if I keep it round end up, pointed side down, which I want to try.
problem is, I can't tell which end is which! Can anyone help? Or does it not even matter, can I just pick an end or does it have to be the rounder wider end up??

I have had no luck getting one with a detached air cell to hatch. I can see your dilemma.

I would hazard a guess at the end with the writing on is the fat end which would need to be set upright.

I went with the end with the writing up, but after three days in the incubator it started to ooze on the outside of the shell so I cracked it today. No development. I wonder why it oozed so early? I never had much hope for it.

Was it oozing through the pours or had it cracked?
Getting them through the post sure can stress them, on the other hand it could have been just a "bad" egg.
Did you purchase from eBay? How were they packaged?

They were eBay eggs packaged in styrofoam. It seemed to be oozing from the pores as there were no visible cracks.
