2 days with no turning, are they dead?

[VaM715]

I have been gone for a few days and while I was out, my turner quit working. Looks like I had about 40-48 hours with no turning. Shoud I run the hatch out or do you think the may have died?

Thanks

Sometimes people go out of town for a few days and can't even hand turn the eggs so they should be fine.. I'd say they will still hatch out. What day are you on?

they will probably be fine. two days isn't really enough to cause any damage at all!

For those who don't have an automatic turner, how often do you turn yours by hand?

I hand turn mine and I turn them in the morning and At night so twice a day, the do fine.

they will be fine because it has only been 2 days so they will be ok no worries just make sure that if you leave have someone come over and turn them







p.s.post pics when they hatch

I am sure they will be okay. As far as turning, I generally turn them three times, but I think it comes down to individual schedules, some people do two, some more.
Though I have heard its not the greatest idea to open the incubator a lot.

My turner went off track for three days before I noticed they were STILL in the same position again when I checked. I had a good hatch rate so I would wait it out. They are all prob just fine. Good luck!
