They need to rest for about 6-12 hours, or 24 hours.

Temperature, & humidity is great.

Yes, that's plenty of time. I think I missed that.

I'm tired.

The eggs are in!

So, should I leave the turner off for the first day or so?

Yep.

Since they had some time to settle, it won't hurt to go 3 days with the Turner off, just to get the aircells more stable.

I did gentle rocking for about a week for my Malay eggs, until their aircells were attached, or at least mostly attached, because my turner rolls the eggs instead of tilts.

You maybe able to get away with the turner on though, I've done it multiple times with a good hatch rate for shipped eggs. Expect to see some funky aircell shapes though.
