Stupid question, but I don't know

I tilt my hatching eggs in the carton while they wait for the incubator. Just tilt the whole carton one way( about 45 degrees) for a few hours then the other way.

 

From my understanding, you don't flip the eggs.

You simply prop one side of the carton up for a few hours, than remove the prop so it lays flat for a few hours, than prop up the other side for a few hours and repeat....

Not a stupid question, having never hatched using ccartons, I didn't have a clue. I've learned something today.

 

When I was hatching in the cartons, I just marked them as usual. Placed the eggs with the pointed side down into the carton, turned the eggs gently one full turn, right to left or left to right. That was it. But I do take them out on the 18th day, lay them flat, fill water up, put them in lockdown until they hatch.

 

Just use the wood block or something similar size (2x2 or 2x4) and slide one end to another. There is no need to open the bator and turn 1 egg at the time.

 

And there are no stupid questions on BYC. We were all beginners sometime.
