Turning egg while out of town?

[Ducklings100]

Hi, everyone. I am going out of town the day after tomorrow and will be gone until the next day until nighttime. I have one duck egg left that's alive, and it has been standing vertically in the incubator pointy end down due to its air sac issues. I’ve been turning it about 5 times a day, but with me going out of town I’m not quite sure what I can do. Is it fine to not be turned or should I get someone to do it? I could also just put it in my automatic turner but that’s horizontal not vertical so I’m not sure if that would mess it up or what.

If you can get someone to come over or even just get an automatic egg-turner, that would be good. The egg turners so tilt the eggs, which won't hurt the duckling. If you can't, the egg should be okay until you come back. Hope that helps!

I was thinking of putting it in my automatic egg turner, but it will have to lay sideways when it has been standing vertical for the whole incubation so far. So I'm just wondering if this will damage it at all?
