Shipped eggs came in today. 9/12 have loose air cells. I have 2 LGs and 1 turner.

Should I put the 9 eggs in egg cartons and just let them sit in the bator? Can I move them to the turner after about a week or so?
Would it be ok just to put them in the turner? I've gotten shipped eggs before, but I didn't mark the ones with loose air cells, so I don't know if these where the ones that stayed clear or not. (didn't think about it until after I put them in

Thay are setting overnight and goin in the bator in the morning
 
I've never had any luck with the loose aircells but some people say they have.

I'd put them in them in the turner. They carton method is just like the turner anyways

Goodluck with them! Mark the loose aircells and see if they develop.
 
I have one egg in the bator right now with a loose air cell... Actually, I'm not sure if it's totally loose or just in the wrong spot. It doens't really move, but it's like, in the middle of the side of the egg. Not where it should be. But the duckling has been developing really well. We've just treated it like the others.

Im no expert but I read A LOT! I am reading to set loose air cell eggs without turning for 2-3 days then begin turning. I have not read to go as long as a week. I can't imagine it would hurt them to go from carton to turner in 2 -3 days as long as temps and all are consistant. Good Luck!!!
