Expect extreme low hatch. It's critical to turn eggs, especially at start. It's been proven without doubt.

Theory is you can stop turning day 14. I tried that once and had a lower than normal hatch but could have been anything. Therein lies a better investigation- hatch rate vs. days early turning stopped. 18 days being the norm.

I remember a group on Facebook that encouraged stacking eggs in the incubator and continued to add eggs throughout. Maybe it's called the stacking method? So the eggs didn't get turned throughout the day but they did get moved around since the newest eggs would go on the bottom of the stack. It was stressful to look at the pictures in my personal opinion, but many people swore by that method. The eggs on the top hatched first, obviously, then were quickly removed. So, I don't have any experience with this and it's not exactly like your post, but has some small similarities in the eggs not being turned on a schedule.

Edited to add: This method was created using the NR360.
