Shipped eggs

[MandaRae]

I know there are a zillion threads for shipped eggs but I'm looking for advice opinions for lockdown.
Right now I have them separated in half an egg Carton so they would fit okay in the incubator.
For hatching should I leave them like this? Cut individual cups? Or just take them out and lay them aircell up?
I really want this hatch to be successful since most of my shipped eggs don't do well but this is the first-time I learned about hatching air cell up.

I always lay my shipped eggs down for hatching

I would just lay them on the tray as normal?
Not sure, I am no expert.

You can have them in the tray but they need to be rotated during incubation. If your not able to do it, I would lay them down.

Unless the air cells look really wonky. I set them in the incubator as normal(most of mine lay on the side) from the first day.

I'm no expert either, but I put my shipped call duck eggs on their sides at lockdown.

Have you checked for dislodged air cells? I put mine on their side for the first 14 days then in the egg carton for the rest of the days. With the small end down. When they start piping I take them out of the carton and lay them on their side. I watch them to make sure they are doing well. Or if I might need to help a little. You can put the carton on a bottle cap first one side then the other. It’s like turning without really turning. Just move it from one corner to the other. I do it about three times a day or more.
