I lay mine down in muffin cases (you may want to double/triple the cases up though to give some more rigidity!)

What is a muffin case?

Awww.... sweet little yellow fuzzies.. This pic looks very much like my hovabator and in playing with the possible scenarios for best and quickest turning I have the cartons (3 of them) up on some hard plastic lids about 1/2 inch high


so that the cartons can be tipped front to back in one movement. Am I supposed to tip them side to side also or is front to back enough movement?

Back and front is fine!

I let my shipped eggs set in the upright position without turning for 24 hours after I received them in the mail. Then the next day I put them in the Incubator laying down on their sides. They developed their for the last 16 days great with the automatic turner. I'm a few days away from hatching so I will keep you posted how they do.

Ah yes, the old muffin 'cup'! So you put your eggs in these for lockdown? Or for the entire hatch?

Do you have detached or misshapen air cells?

Well, what about the turning schedule? With an auto turner..... well, you know the rest. I read that 3 - 4 times a day is what is needed. What about through the night? My hubby is going to throw me into the chicken coop if I have to get up and down 3 - 4 times all night for 3 weeks!!! I can do 4 times during the day, early morn, mid day, mid after and early evening... How about that?
