Sittin before incubating

Hope my eggs will be ok as they didn’t sit I just put them in the incubator, but I heard doesn’t matter , I I’m anxious now they will die

Where did you get them? Are they shipped? Turn off the turner or don't turn them fir a few days.

Read your post wrong at first and thought you were talking abt hens not sitting on them lol. once the incubation process has started its a good idea not to stop it. I agree with nuthatched that it might be good to take out the egg turner for a bit.
incubate until there's no debate! good luck.

Like I said on your other post, I usually sit them for 12/24 hours, not always. As of late I do, but past years I didn't and I still had good hatch rates.

After seeing this year how USPS handled shipped eggs compared to other years, I sit them, pointy side down, in the basement at least overnight, sometimes longer.

If the eggs were shaken pretty good during shipment sometimes it helps for them to sit a while and let the air pocket settle. Sometimes no amount of settling will help. If they were not shaken enough to mess up the air pocket it probably doesn't matter.

I would not stop incubating them. They are up to heat by now. I don't know what your incubator or turner looks like. If you can without stopping incubating you can turn the turner off for a while, maybe overnight. I don't think that will hurt your incubation as long as you turn it back on tomorrow. Or you can keep going. There is no way to know for certain if it will harm them.
