Check the air cells and set them big end up for 2 to 5 days depending on the air cell damage. Do not turn them for those days. Instead of them on their sides, you should incubate them in an egg carton and tilt the Incubator if you do not have an egg turner.

You will be told that it does not matter, but studies have shown incubating shipped eggs big end up improves the hatch rate. Put them back on their side at lockdown.

Good hatching!
