Wrong egg orientation!

[chick4smiles]

I'm new to BYC (just signed up today) and while reading all of the very interesting and useful information posted, I realized that the eggs I have in my incubator are in the wrong orientation! I have the smaller end "up" and the larger end "down". They are set in an automatic turner. The "oldest" eggs were put in the incubator 12 days ago (some eggs have been added every other day or so). I'll be placing them in the right orientation from now on, but my question is: Do I turn over the eggs that are in there already? Should I leave the older ones alone, but turn over the younger ones? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would candle them and see where the air space is. Should be in the large end. If u turn them there may still be time for them to flip in there; I think it's like day 14 that the start to orient. They need their head near the air sPace up from gravity

Thanks! I'll do what you suggested.
I've made a few mistakes with this batch of eggs so I'll be lucky if any hatch...
Looking forward to the next round using all this new information.
