Make an x on the egg shell with a pencil.  Then you know where the top or bottom is.  Turn your eggs at least 2 times a day, (many chick producers have the automatic fancy stuff that turns eggs every few hours) and make sure you rotate them 180 degrees.  When I put eggs in the incubator I put them in with the pointy side up.  Then I rotate them by putting the big side up.  Don't turn the eggs after the 18th day.  (takes 21 days to hatch)  Please read my profile.
