So back story I've had dozens of successful batches with about a 98% hatch rate average. But I haven't hatched in about a year and decided to buy serama eggs on a whim because ya know, chicken math 
Well my incubator has been setting for that year and I had it set up and ready when I picked up the eggs. Thought all was well but every day since has been a constant nerve wracking struggle with the temperature dropping down to 97 and shooting up to 101. I have been keeping a careful eye on them try to keep the ambient temp in the room good as well as humidity.
I candled on day 7 and I have 10 very live and active seramas and 4 were infertile. So to my shock these babies are thriving in the worst conditions so they are some miracle babies!
Here's the deal, I'm exhausted I barely sleep now cz I'm up checking on the eggs like a first time mother to a newborn baby. So I got another incubator a NR360
It's hooked up and temp is so steady it's a beautiful thing. Can I switch them to the new incubator now? It's day 10. I wouldn't hesitate doing so if it wasn't for the egg turner one is upright and one is side roll. Is it too dangerous to switch them to side roll? I've included pics below of the incubators.
