I ordered guinea eggs online. They were shipped to me on their sides. Everyone was lying on its side wrapped in plastic packed in pine shavings. I have never had something packed this way. MY main concern is that the post office shook them a lot and detached the air cell. Since they were on their sides, some of the air cells settled on the side. I wrote to the guy and he said he always ships them theat way and he always receives them that way and that is how they are hatched under the mom. But of course the mom doesn't use the postal system to receive her eggs. Are guinea eggs different? I can't imagine they are. Am I wrong in telling him they should not have been on their sides? I have researched a lot but maybe I researched in the wrong place. I'd like some experienced peoples advice. I have them large end up, resting. I will put them in the incubator after 24 hours. I will keep them large end up. I won't rotate for the first 4 days and wait for the viens to form over the air cell. Then I will tilt the eggs instead of rolling, several times a day.
