They are being shipped from South Carolina to Texas. Should I use the auto turner and flip the eggs 3 times a day?
First, I would gently unpack them and then gently candle to check the air cells. If the air cells are wobbly or detached, I would put them up right (fat end up) and leave them in the incubator for 24-48 hours without turning or touching them. Then gently recheck to see if the air cells have firmed up. If not, start tilting them from side to side 5xday. Hold off on laying them down or turning on your turner until the air cells have stabilized a bit. What humidity are you planning on running? How many eggs?
