I have 3 pigeon eggs in incubation all with saddle air cells, with no solid idear of how it developed.

I'm wondering what should I do ??? They are at day 7, with veins, little embryos and movement, showing signs of life.

I currently have them pointed up in incubation, but how do I rotate them ?

They also seem to be super close or touching that air cell at certain points (especially now they are pointed up), I noticed this yesterday and they still are alive today, is this an issue also ?

Any advice help :((((
 
Hopefully someone who incubates pigeon eggs comes along, but with chicken eggs, saddled air cells is common especially with shipped eggs. There's nothing we can do about it, and they usually hatch; although, sometimes they may need assistance getting out.

I'd put them pointy side down or on their sides though rather than pointy side up.

They blunt side is already up, so I hope it helps.

Thanks for your time x
 
Where are parents of these eggs? I know for sure that pigeon eggs lay flat while under the parents. There are normally only two in a nest, you would have to turn them manually.
