Can I wait 9 hours inbetween turns?

[chippysmom327]

For the last 8 days of my incubation, I'm going to be in school and no one will be able to turn the eggs. I can't afford an automatic turner and I was wondering if I could turn once at 6:30 AM, 3 PM, and 11 PM? Would 8 1/2-9 hours be too long for the eggs to stay on one side?

Folks do this very thing successfully all the time.
