Do you turn the eggs during lockdown?

[momsflock]

It is my very first hatch and I am on day 19. Do you turn the eggs during lockdown or leave them???

No, you don't turn them.

NO.

Stop turning 2-3 days before the hatch.

If they are in an auto-turner, remove them as well and lay them on their sides. Good luck.

I have them tilted in an egg carton. Should I keep them tilted in the carton or take them out and lay them on their sides?

I do all my hatches in an egg carton.....some like to lay them on the wire, but I prefer the cartons....I have better hatches that way.
