No! if they eggs are turned the embryo will die. So when removing the eggs make sure that you know which side is the top. Then place them 50% buried in moust vermiculite around 73-75 degrees and 5-7 months later your baby chams will hatch.

Hi there,
You can turn the eggs without causing any problems as the embryo hasn't developed yet. You can turn the egg even at two weeks after it has been laid, but i woulnd't intentionally turn the eggs save for an accident. I have an article on my website which talks about egg care and how you can prevent dis-orientation of the egg. Follow the link
