this is my first time incubating eggs laying down the entire time. What should a candle of it look like at day 12? My egg is developing but to me it looks strange. I don't have a picture but can someone post pictures of yours at this more developed stage so I can compare. It looks like the yolk is just a weird shape. If I can get a picture later I will but I would love to see what others looked like.
 
Also we've been rotating the eggs 3 times a day. Should the yolk come to the top? Thus far I don't think I've noticed it moving as I turn the egg but I haven't been paying that close attention. I know it doesn't immediately move as I turn the egg but i don't know if it has been if I leave it on its opposite side for a while. Would this mean it's stuck? We've been turning since we got it.
 
Well I'm not able to see it well in these pictures but the yolk kind of dips. Towards one end it isnt level with The way the egg is sitting or nicely rounded anymore.

My sister said she does think the yolk is rotating to be on the top but it doesn't rotate immediately. So I guess it is moving. In the event that it is not coming to the top, will it still develop okay? It is being turned so the duck is not always laying on one side but Im not sure if the entire yolk is shifting in the egg

Is that air cell a decent size for day 12? It looks a little small to me but the humidity is only at 40% and even with no water it won't get lower because it's so humid where I live
