Shipped eggs laying flat...

I'm new to this but I have a very important question about shipped eggs, I've been reading a lot about how shipped eggs need to wait 24 hours before putting into an incubator and they need to be sitting upright in the incubator, I have a kebonnixs incubator and I just ordered eggs. Did I waste my money? Can I lay my shipped eggs on their sides and have them be okay after 24 hours of sitting?

So, how did you do? What was your hatch %?

I'm getting eggs for my broody, and I've never had shipped eggs before.

When do yours come, Fuzzi? Our postal lady just texted me she's got my two boxes of shipped eggs with her so here we go again!

Glad you asked too as I'd also love to know how these turned out!!

I'll send you a message before someone tells us to get a room.

She had the wrong month on the title. I posted her reply where she noticed it. No biggy. I don't know what day it is most of the week.
