hi, I am a first-timer at incubating (besides when I was around 5). I started with 12 silkie eggs and now have 10 going into lockdown day 17.

I removed my eggs from the egg turner and removed the egg turner, I then candled my eggs and drew the air cell on with a led pencil. I then put the eggs back into the already running incubator. I got the temp and humidity just right and woke up around 2 am and decided to check on the incubator. I being half asleep picked it (the incubator) up to see if the loud noise it was making was a vibration from the desk. only after picking it up did I realise my stupid decision, I quickly but gently put the incubator down and turned on the light. all the eggs had rolled to one side
I quickly opened the lid and placed them apart again. there were no cracks in the eggs but I am worried I got nearly all the way through to the hatch and messed it up.
Has anyone experienced this kind of experience and what was the hatch's success?
 
This never happened to me on lockdown.. but it did happen to me on day 13. I picked the whole thing up because we moved houses. 2 of my eggs cracked the rest were fine hatched normally. your eggs should be fine... they might hatch a little bit after due date tho (mines did). Good luck!
