Hello! I have about 60 shipped eggs. I candled when I unpacked them and most had detached air cells. They sat in my basement in egg cartons for a full 24 hours. I put them in the incubator this morning only after candling them again. A good majority of them still have detached air cells. They are in an automatic turner ***which is unplugged and flat (so the eggs are upright, fat end up) at this time.***

My question is: how long should I let them remain unturned in my incubator before I plug the turner back in? I've read so many conflicting articles that I'd just like to hear if from those who have experience.

Do I leave them unturned and upright for 1 day? 2 days? The entire time? Thanks for any and all advice!!

What breed are u hatching out? I'm setting mille fleur d'Uccle bantam eggs tomorrow.

I'm hatching out some bbs, jubilee, and chocolate orpingtons, some blue laced red wyandottes, some blue cuckoo orps, some silkies and some BBs marans. Quite the menagerie but it'll be a fun mix. :)
