Just candled my shipped silkie eggs , they're on day 5 but only one seems to be fertile and the rest are questionable. The one fertile (that seems alive) has a saddle shaped air cell but it is not moving. All the other eggs have detached air cells. I rested them for 8-9 hours and began turning on day 2. I'm extremely devestated, these are my dream chickens and I really want to save them. Please, help me, what can I do to save them? Can I put them in a upright position and turn them three times a day by hand?

I would incubate them fat end up on a carton and just tilt them 3 times a day in the carton
