Forgot to turn eggs first day- concerned

[backyard1964]

Hi all,
Placed eggs in incubator and the turner wasn't on for the first 25 hours....OUCH!!!
Eggs were collected for 4 days prior to incubator and turned 4 times daily.

Have never let this happen and can't believe it did.

We've had this sportsman for a long time and runs like a champ.
Humidity 52%....Temp is 100F and has been steady since setting the eggs.

Is this going to ruin this hatch cycle?

Thanks for the opinions !!!

It won't hurt the eggs at all, the first day is day 0, 24 hours after set is the start of day one.

There are many hatchers who don’t turn the eggs for the first 24 hours
Your batch should be just fine

∆∆∆ This. I read that after I set my first eggs and was like, well shoot! Haha It'll be fine, or at any rate, if it doesn't go great, I wouldn't point to that as the cause by any means.

Thank you, for your opinions.
We've always had a 98% hatch rate or better.
Never had the automatic turner not activated.
Feeling better this now.

Thanks again !!

Agreed that they should be fine. Good luck for a successful incubation and hatch.
