I got 12 hatching eggs today and sadly all but one have either entirely detached or messed up air cells from there trip from Germany down to Italy... They were in shipping for roughly 4 days (left Monday morning and arrived today on Thursday around early to mid afternoon)

I've been letting them rest in their cartons bottom side up to let the air cells readjust and I plan on putting them in the incubator tomorrow afternoon... But I'm wondering... Is it a good idea to have them in my incubator bottom side up? What about the one with an intact air cell? I heard I can flip them back over to their sides after 7 days or so... But I'd this true?

Here's an example with one of my eggs from my flock of how I plan to incubate them...
