Need some advice. I have six shipped SFH eggs in the incubator with bad air cells. They have been sitting up for days up the air cells still move. But I also have two other local mix eggs that are developing and have great air cells.
Question, I will be gone on vaction tonight till Monday, what should I do about turning? Maybe set the mini on minimal turning?
How many days have they been incubated and turned so far?
It sounds like the choices are 1) leaving them upright, at a slight tilt with no turning, or 2) putting them on their sides with turning. Is that correct? If so, I'd go for option 1 for eggs with bad air cells. If you've been turning all along, I think it would cause fewer problems to stop turning than to put the eggs on their sides and have the air cells roll around. I hope other folks weigh in on this as well.
I recently set 9 shipped SFH eggs. The air cells were detached on 7 and saddled on 2. None of the eggs with detached air cells developed (and the egg contents on a few were actually mixed, or scrambled). One of the eggs with a saddled air cell made it to lockdown (Day 20 today), so I'm really hoping it hatches.
