Incubating in an egg carton?

[Newbie chick 30]

I've seen the pics...cut out the bottoms for air flow...I know they go pointy side down...but here is the question...how do you turn them?

I'm using the dozen carton with 3/4 inch pvc tubes under them. I got the idea from someone on this forum. Or you can prop up the side of the incubator with a book. Good Luck

I built a turner - its basically a board that rotates like a teeter totter. Just give a twist from the outside.

You can keep it as simple as placing a block of wood under one side of the carton & then switch to the other side. Doesn't have to be complicated.

My incubator is turned by the auto-turner cradle, so there's no individual turning of any egg. They all get turned at the same time. Cut down egg cartons are perfect for that reason.
