I have received a very squashed box of hatching eggs yesterday - due to the amazing job of internal packing by the breeder no eggs were broken - with scrambled eggs (a bit of an exaggeration). All but 3 (which have a partial/saddle attachment) air cells are completely detached. I let the eggs sit upright for 24 hours on the counter and put them in the Bator this morning without the turner. My incubator style has the eggs lay on their side whilst the turner rolls them. Here are my questions after reading and watching every boring you tube video I could find :
1. I have placed them in egg cartons in the incubator and am not planning on moving them AT ALL for the first 3 days - is this advised?
2. I plan on keeping them upright without an automatic turner for the full duration of incubation turning only once prepay from day 3 to around day 15/16 then not turning again. Thoughts?
3. I tend to lean towards dry hatching (I'm in South Florida where our humidity levels are pretty high) but am planning to increase humidity to about 60% (currently 35%) around day 19/20. Again, thoughts?
If you have had success hatching eggs with detached air cells I would love ANNNNY advice
Thank you
