I have heard often "Do not rotate the eggs", but is there any published information on this? I have successfully rotated eggs up to 1 day after laying. In one case, I had an egg that was rotated 2 days after laying. Mom decided she did not want it in her coils. Has anyone lost an egg that they know was because they rotated it?



Basically, I'm asking if there is any information other than theory.



Could this be why the eggs stick together? Nature's way of keeping them in a set position?
