Some people cut holes, others do not. Personally, I will not as I have heard that it doesn't make a difference. Of course, to each his/her own. People generally use egg cartons for the entire hatch when they don't have auto-egg turners. The cartons hold the eggs and you can raise one side or the opposite side several times per day to simulate what an auto-egg turner does for you. If you have an auto-egg turner, simply take it out on lock down day, replace it with an egg carton and you are good to go! Oh, and some people prefer to add a surface that is easier on the fuzz balls, i.e. shelf liner, over the incubator wire mesh and under the egg carton.
