Do you remove eggs from a turner for the last three days?

If you have a turner that stands the eggs up and rocks them side to side, yes take it out. If you have a turner (such as the IncuTurn) that rolls the eggs on their side, you don't take it out. Because the IncuTurn is flat, when you unplug it on day 18, it just becomes part of the floor of the incubator so there's no need to unload the incubator and remove it.

Do I just lay eggs on side.. they were standing in turner

You need to take it out of these as well. The egg shell will sometimes get wedged while the chick is trying to hatch out. It makes more room for the chick when the egg turner is removed
