I was putting two new eggs in the incubator this morning and I accidentaly let one roll over real quick. Can the embryo drown that fast or is it alright if I quickly turned it right back up?

Yes I had the upside marked, and yes I put that side back up. I am just worried that the second it was flipped over may have caused enough damage to destroy the embryo. Should I worry?

i think they should be fine (this is a guess). When you read caresheets it says to keep the right side up for incubation, it doesnt say not to let it tip for a few seconds or anything..

good luck

If they are freshly laid eggs, they should be fine. It can take up to a day or two for the newly forming embryonic cells to attach to an inside wall of the egg.

those two were from a nice SHTCTB pairing. I've also got some fertile RSA eggs in there and some almost definitely INFERTILE aptor eggs hanging out just in case
