if the eggs are on paper towels, and there is any sort of vibration in the house, e.g., loud music, large vehicle/aircraft passing by, vacuum cleaner, etc., what is keeping them from turning?  i would be interested in seeing your exact setup.  also, what is your hatch rate using this method

I have to agree here.  Anything can set them to rolling even just picking up the container.  Not to mention movement of the babies in side the eggs as well (of course if they have managed to make it that far the movement would not likely upset things)

This is why I asked you about how you are hatching them on papertowels.  If you are then it is shear luck that you are hatching any at all. Not to mention the fact that wet paper towel with an egg on it will get funky pretty fast.
