upside down egg question

[mlove]

Will a fertile egg still be able to hatch if it was placed small point up for 3-4 hours? When I discovered it turned the wrong way I corrected it big side up for about 9 hours and then placed in the incubator.

i dont know about that but i turned one upside down for the entire hatch as an "expirement". it hatched but was all deformed.. so i learned to never do this again

It'll be ok. I have had eggs delivered to me that were upside down for days while in transit and they did fine. I have one chicken who lays eggs that are perfectly oval from time to time. I have put a couple of hers in the incubator and found out I put them in upside down after 6 days, flipped them over and everything worked out good.
