  I like to candle at day 5 and 10, then on 18.  

 

 I have some eggs in a turner now, anyone know if I can go ahead and put them on their sides to hand turn now?  6 days in..

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

10 & 18 days.  If you touch them often, the hatch rate may be lower.
