Guy, if you find them right away and happen to see the pink oval then yes you place that so it is up and showing in the container you place them in. If you see one laying with the pink down, you can turn it and put right side up as long as you do this within a certain amount of hours after being layed it does not harm the eggs.

After they are placed and have sat for a time DO NOT MOVE THEM again/ try real hard not to mess with them.

** Also if you ever find eggs that have been layed for awhile and are no longer wettish(just layed) but look nice and white and plump but no longer see the pink, try and place them the way you find them. Sometimes if you have been out or if they were layed overnight, they are good but you don't see that freshly layed pink oval as well.

CONGRATULATIONS.... GOOD JOB,,,, now the hard part.. THE BIG WAIT

hey Eve thanks, one question, ive gotten different answers on this, but what is the ideal humidity for the eggs? ive heard low humidity at 35% then i was told higher at about 73% so im not sure what is ideal. of course i should adjust the humidity accordingly, but what is ideal?
