Aloha!
Apparently when I was prepping my incubator and nailing down temps and humidity (prior to egg setting) the egg turner got unplugged. The eggs have been sitting at the same angle for 3 full days and today is day 4 when I realized. I've read that these first days are the most critical. I would hate to cause any deformity or have them stuck to the shell and die! I have 18 eggs in the incubator now and was planning on candling in 3 days on Day 7. Is this hatch a total loss? @MGG has this ever happened to you? I'm looking for any advice and thanks to all!
 
Do not worry, there are a lot of breeders that only start the egg turning on day 4, the eggs will be alright.
Thanks so much for the reply! Crossing fingers the candling goes well on day 7. I have my very first maran eggs I am hatching and was so sad!
