    Turner not working.

    Hi everyone, I just noticed that my turner was not working for the first five days and wonder if that could possibly ruin my hatch. Any insight or reassurance would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hello from Ohio

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but have been raising chickens for about 15 years. I've just gotten serious about hatching my own chickens and joined because I had some questions about incubators, etc. I have a bout 84 in the bator now.
