Fluster Cluck Acres
Crowing
But since I’m a worrier and an over thinker… this guy pipped on the bottom of the egg. It appears it might be zipping in the direction of going under the egg. Im wondering if I should roll it a little to give the hatching chick more space to zip. t’s basically the only egg in the incubator (there are 2 others but I’m 80% sure they were both late quitters).
I had some issues with the egg turner not working during incubation. The egg went approximately 4 days without being turned around day 7. Then later it went another couple days without turning around day 14. When I put the egg in lockdown, it wouldn’t lay with the writing up like I always place them. It kept rolling slightly to one side. I’ve never had, or maybe noticed, an egg do that before. I wasn’t able to determine if it was or was not malpositioned.
Do I roll it slightly, or leave it be?
Also there’s a smell coming from the incubator… one of those late quitters might be bad.
