That schedule would work.

The Notes section is in the second post of the thread (at the beginning). TONS of links to info on the basics on incubation, including a lot of detailed information., A must read, really helps...

Same time space is best. You turn to keep them from sticking, increase blood flow, an help give nutrients, and an uneven turning schedule messes that up.

I beg to differ...

I always think what would a hen do. Hens have no set routine. I think just turning an adequate number of times would work,,,Of course, I could be wrong, but that would be a first...


Duckladie Do you have them on their side or as in an egg carton?

Hens are constantly shifting them underneath them. They do not sit totally still for 6 hours, so I believe they still get a pretty equal amount of time on each side.

I think what you need to know is it safe to burn when you are in a life raft or floating holding on to your Inner tube....

I heard on the news things are better for you today? Is that correct or did they lie to us again?

Could I turn a different amount of times on different days?

I hatch mine upright I wonder how much difference that make in the turning of them.... I rely on an auto turner too, if I had to hand turn them they would all die.

I have pretty quiet hens they hardly ever move.....so nananaaaa
