I read on here that you can stop turning after 14 days and it won't hurt them.  idunno.gif

Bantam Red Cochins, Mille Fluer D'Uccle, Free ranging guineas - Pearl, Pied, Buff, Violet, Lavender.  One RIR hen and one Black Australorp hen (Henny) who is a spoiled rotten pet.  Variety of Maran babies.  One great husband, three kids, and two dogs.  I'm a chick-a-holic so I have an ever changing number of feather kids.

Yep, turn for at least 14 days. The 18 day thing is just standard.

Don't. It's not worth possibly damaging the embryo.

 

As for turning for 14 days, I have never heard of this. But if one is a slower developer it might not be best. And it wouldn't help anyone to stop 10-12 days.

i got lots o' hens: my special mutt, Hope,Cuckoo Marans hen, Barred Rock,White Leghorn,Buff Silkie, White Bantam Frizzle Cochin

some roos too!: Cuckoo Marans, White Leghorn, Buff Silkie, and my special mutt Snippy

Some people dont turn at all an still get ok hatches. I would not recommend that though...

 

 

Raymond, the 14 days are enough thing I heard from this video. http://vimeo.com/40180319
