Do the eggs not rotate themselve.like the white disc turn?

In that incubator, you would actually tilt the eggs, similar to the way a lot of the automatic egg turners work. You lean the eggs as far to the one side as you can, as close to a 45° angle as you can get, then lean them as far to the other side as you can, again as close to a 45° angle as you can get. You want to tilt the eggs an odd number of times each day, at least three times, so they don't sit overnight on the same side each night. Five times would be better than three times, but there is not always time for that. Some people have written that you would turn the eggs upside down, but that would put the air cell at the bottom of the egg. I read that could cause the chick to be malpositioned, because they will still try to position themselves as if the air cell was at the top of the egg. Good luck with your first hatch!

Yes don't filp them small side up. It's not recommend by the majority of people. Do read wallet Sun shines hatching 101. It is a must read and re read.

Read the reviews on that incubator before you buy it. I read that it had trouble keeping temperature steady.

You can make an incubator-just look online for instructions
