Alright so last night one of the 2 eggs from a clutch hatched and as i opened the lid from the container to check out the baby he got scared and ran off fast and turned over the other egg about 50 degrees which should be hatching anytime now so im just wondering if anything could of happened to the hatching inside.

I had an accident in one of our incubators and a cup with 5 eggs in it sat at an angle for about 4 hours. The eggs did not shift in the deli. It was quite upsetting that I had been so careless. They never molded or changed color. So far 3 have hatched and 2 will be hopefully within days. I have prepared myself for their death, but you never know....... incubate until there's no debate!

Hope your baby came out ok :)

Tell me about it! He felt sooooo bad. But everything turned out just fine. I really think the orientation of leo eggs is not as strict as we think.

Wow, I would have come unglued....

Since my incident, I have questioned this also. But I think it's still a good habit to keep things as undisturbed as possible to yield the best results.

My husband accidentally knocked over an Hovabator full of eggs, and all of them hatched just fine.

I would of had a heart attack! Reminds me of the time I spilled coffee all over my keyboard. There was a moment that went by just after I spilled... holy crap what did I just do...(in shock where to begin)! Follow by frantically grabbing a clean tee shirt and anything else within reach to stop the waterfall of coffee from continuing to go into my keyboard. Your just left speachless how did I manage this one. I am really glad all of them came out ok!!!!
