quiverring eggs

[chickenfan]

If an egg has been quiverring sporadically for over 12 hours, should it be turned over, just in case it is in the wrong position for hatching?

No definitely not Chickenfan. It is trying to move inside to orientate itself for hatching and moving the whole egg could just cause confusion and waste precious energy. Sometimes they pip underneath, but ours that have hatched OK. It is always a worrying time I know.
