I turn my eggs whenever I think about it as long as it's an odd number of times. I work weird hours and can not always turn them the same time. It has never made a difference. My last hatch was 18 of 28 eggs, but every egg that showed development hatched. The ones that were taken out were clear. So I wouldn't worry as much. Just make sure they are turned an odd number of times.

right - turning is not an exact science. Just so long as they turn enough that the yolk doesn't stick to the shell.

If you are using a carton just prop 1 end up & then the other.

Well, I'm working on my first hatch, but I've been turning them in the morning before school (around 7), after school around 2pm, and before bed which can be fairly late.
