Turning eggs while storing them before incubating

[BluebirdHomestead]

I am going to have to store some fertile hatching eggs for a couple days while I wait for some I’m having shipped to get here. I know to store them fat end up, between 60-65°, but how do I turn them? Can I prop the carton up on one end and then prop it on the other end to “turn” them. It will be more like tipping them side to side. Will that be ok?

I was not aware that you had to turn them while storing them. I just that that turning was to keep the embryo from developing on the shell and that the embryo didn't start to form until you start incubating them. I'm not sure though sorry I couldn't really help.

I did exactly that with mine. At the time, I kept them in egg cartons and just propped an end up and alternated ends every few hours.

Yep, just alternate propping the sides of the carton. Simple.
