Can you turn eggs too much?

The worry-wart in me has me going in every couple hours and turning the eggs. Probably more out of nervousness than anything. Am I doing harm? The temp does drop a little when I go in there each time. Its only day 2.

Anybody?

I turn 3 times a day by hand.. sometimes 5. Automtic turners usually turn eggs very 2 - 4 hours so I would say that your just fine!

If you are turning them often your not gonna have any yolks get stuck to the egg and die for sure!

Course, you don't really want the temp dropping frequently all the time either. I would say every 2-4 hours should be fine, though. If you're turning them every 15 minutes, that's probably a problem.
