Hatchling upside down/or on its side in shell
Hi Guys,
I have a clutch of eggs that have started to hatch. I candled them again last night and one of the eggs looked different, as in there wasn't a space at the top of the egg. I shone the torch in from the side and it I could see in. I picked the egg up and candled from underneath and I could see the baby was nearly upside down/ or on its side.. I placed it back in the incubator the way it's been sitting all through incubation.. But do I need to turn the egg so the baby is sitting the correct way or shall I leave it till it pips? Or will it pip? Or will it die like this? |
If you can see that it's upsidedown Julia, than I'd turn the egg so that the embryo is back rightsideup. It's hard to breath when upsidedown.

I've now turned it to with I think is the right way up. There is a slight orange/red glow underneath now, but I can't see an air space above that like you usually see before they hatch. Any thoughts?

If the little one was able to turn upsidedown in the egg, that means the inner membrane has been absorbed. It should be hatching very soon.
