Incubating Shipped Eggs in an IncuView incubator

[MysteryChicken]

Hello, I have pre ordered Malay eggs that'll be shipped out on the 16th of March, & would like to know how to incubate them in the incuview incubator.

The incubator will be delivered within the next few days.



The incubator requires eggs to be incubated on their sides, & not sure how I'm gonna be able to hatch the shipped eggs like that without problems.

If you incubated shipped hatching eggs on their sides, how did it turn out? Did you have a good hatch?

Some tips will be helpful too.

Thanks in advance.

It turns them by rolling them while on their sides.

I always hatch shipped eggs on their sides, unless they have detached air cells. Of my three batches of shipped eggs, I had an overall 90% hatch rate. The eggs traveled over 1500 miles too. They were quail, if that matters.
I'm sure you already know this, but be sure to test run the incubator with calibrated temp and humidity gauges for a few days.

Yep, I know about the test run before hatching. I have a few calibrated hygrometers, & thermometers I can use. I'm gonna do a recalibration just in case, but last time it wasn't necessary.
