I have heard of people putting them in a cut down paper cup so they don't move around so much until they can come out of the shell. Don't know if that would work for you or not. I would also put warm wet paper towels or wash cloth around and over it as much as possible leaving the head out of course. I hope it makes it. Let us know what happens.
I was just checking the temp and I saw one very slightly move. It is so hard not to think I didn't really see it. I still have 18 eggs in I thought I had 17 but there are 18 when I put the over for lock down. This incubator is kind of glitchy so I am trying hard to keep it on track. The temp went down when I put them in and has stayed down most of the day I think because I was gone. around 98 I think. I am trying to get it up to 99 without going way up. I don't understand why it goes different all the time. The eggs were warm so it shouldn't have changed it much. It just seems to get it in its head to lower it a couple of degrees every once in a while. grrrrrrrI was just checking on my incubator and happened to catch an egg moving. I thought I saw one moving last night, but when I showed it to my DH he said he thought I was seeing things. But this one today, number 4, it is moving...just a slight rocking back and forth. Must be getting itself into position.
I am more agitated about the temp going up and down than anything right now. I have a water heater thing in there and it will start to make the light quiver sometimes. It doing it right now. When it does that the temp stays right where it is. But when it stops doing it it will go either up or down. Drives lm crazy. As long as it doesn't go over 101 I guess it is ok but it makes me nervious. I will be so glad when the next few days are over. The next eggs will stay in the Genesis for lock down. Much easier on the nerves. I am too old for this kind of birthing. LOLI keep going and checking for more movement or pip holes, but nothing new.
@mbleily...I love the little NN in your avatar, btw.
