Turn now or wait?

My eggs arrived and I waited 36 hours to place them in the incubator. Do I wait 2-3 days to start turning them or a shorter period of time. Thanks in advance.

Turn now and often. Nothing is improved by waiting. Early in incubation, the more turning the better to facilitate the development of extra embryonic membranes critical for feeding the embryo.

Yes never wait to start turning them. It is one of the most important parts in the incubation period to get a great hatch.

I start turning on day 3 and stop turning on day 18. It is the usual way in my country to left the eggs in the incubator the first 3 days untouched I just hatched my first batch two weeks ago, and they are perfectly healthy!

Good luck with your hatch!

Also, I only turn 2-3 times a day, sometimes only once per day during the weekends, because I turn them manually.
It is better to turn more frequently, but if you don’t have the time to do that don’t lose hope it still works with once per day.
