Hi all!
Eggs are on day 61...so new arrivals any day now I hope, but this morning I got up and did my normal check to see if we had a new arrival but I noticed the egg has rolled itself.

Is it possible the movement inside is rolling the egg and we should soon see a new little friend??? It was only me in the house yesterday/over night so no chance someone knocked the incubator.

No. Eggs cannot roll from the movement of the baby inside unless they are in the process of hatching and they've got a leg out.

Some external force moved your egg, if it was moved. Ghosts maybe?

The baby inside the egg actually rolls as he chips away at the shell to get out, but I've never seen that activity causing the egg to turn over. I s'pose there's a first time for everything. Sounds like you're about to become a parent!!
