Upsidedown

[Gallus Sapien]

Hello, I am new to raising chickens and hatching eggs. I just candled my eggs (day ten), and found that one was put in the turner with the air sack down. Should I flip it or leave it? It looks fertile (37out of 42).

I would turn it right side up (large end of the egg up). Figure you got lucky it was developing but now that you know it was sitting the wrong way, just correct it and enjoy the rest of the hatching process.

Thanks! I just needed a push to do it.

I had the same problem with an egg that was kinda odd shaped with no obvious big end. Once it started developing I realized that is was in the incubator upside down so I marked the end with the air sack and put it back in. Fingers crossed still 2 weeks to go.

Too bad. On the other hand, if for some reason the chick wasn't healthy, it saves you the heartache of it pipping but not hatching, or dying after it hatches or having some deformity. Trying to find the bring side. Other wise, I'm sorry.

(BTW, love your name Gallus Sapien. Nerdy and funny!)
