Candled chicken eggs on day 14 and found one of the eggs went from a top air sack 12.jpg to a side sack (didn't get a picture of the side sack, but it is the right size for the date) IMG_20200427_124345.jpg

I have marked the air sack and have the egg vertical in case the drawdown gets the sack to enlarge towards the top. On day 18 I plan to set the egg (sack up) on its side. My plan is to isolate the egg so any early hatchers don't roll it over. Is there anything else I can do to aid the little alien inside?

Second question, do you divide your hatcher? If so with what? I have pine trays with 1/2" hardware cloth bottoms that is covered by a shelf liner. I thought it might be interesting to divide the eggs by parent if known and egg color if not.

Thanks for your help

Not to bad, I got 67% hatch rate on the fertilized eggs. The incubator is loaded again. Day 10, with only one quitter. Between hatches I have fixed the temperature issue and increased the air transfer to see if I can get over 80 percent. Thanks for asking.
