To Turn Or Not To Turn Shipped Eggs?

[coloradowildflower]

I'm receiving shipped eggs later this week to set in my incubator. I've read mixed advice and now I want yours: I know to let the eggs rest at least 24 hours when they arrive, but after that...what? Some people say to turn off the egg turner. Do you agree? For how long? If you have hatched shipped eggs, please share your process and your hatch rate!

After the eggs reach room temperature, you can put your eggs right in the incubator if you don't have the turner on. It depends on how bad the air cells are wobbly if you do it for 1 day or 5 days. I would gently twist the egg at least once a day by hand, or don't.
It's hard to share shipped hatch rate success because it depends on how the shipper packaged them and how the post office handled them and if your incubator is working properly.
For instance: I live in Iowa. If I get eggs from Missouri I have noticed I get poor hatch rates. If I get eggs from Texas or Minnesota or Northern Iowa. I get good hatch rates. If I order eggs from the East U.S. I get poor hatch rates. If I order duck eggs I get poor hatch rates.
I got call duck eggs, and they were all developing wonderfully from Northern Iowa on day 20. Then I accidently calibrated my incubator after I had taken the lid off for candling and ended up killing all of them.
I've seen some stinking awful ways sellers have shipped eggs too! Pointy end up, pool noodles, loose in a box with newspapers... and they don't incubate well either.
