Life has been extremely hectic due to extenuating family circumstances, so stress has been much higher than normal. I put the eggs in one incubator on Wednesday, and filled the other incubator on Thursday. I woke up about 3 this morning because I didn't recall plugging in the turner (crazy how little things like this can ruin a sleep). Sure enough, I didn't. Will everything be ok? I candled a few eggs and it looks like the yolks are at the top, but I don't see any veins yet. I was struggling some with getting the first incubator temp above 97 the first day, but it has stayed a consistently around 100-102.

They'll likely be okay, don't worry
Is this a still air incubator, or with a fan?
 
I don't know much, as I am doing my first hatch, but I'd just cross my fingers and hope for the best. They are already in there and the turner is on now. I am sure everything will be fine. I don't think signs of life begin till day 5-7?!?!

Mine had a hell of a time with humidity for the first 24hrs...too high, too low, too high low, (new to incubating and to this incubator)FINALLY last night it settled down at 55% and held!

Imma leave mine in there...can't hurt...
 
Personally I would not start over even if I had fresh eggs available. Turning helps with different things early in development but not turning for a while is not a death sentence. Many people recommend not turning shipped eggs for a day before you start incubating them.
