Egg turners and hatch rate

[muddipuppy]

Does an egg turner increase your hatch rate?

i don't know it.

but, the most actual thing you get from egg turner is more stable humidity and temp since you needn't to open the bator to turn eggs.

i never use one. even i incubate 29 eggs with manual turning. not because i don't want to have egg turner but i can't make it

i try some way and still failed. then, i just manually turn it 3 times a day, at least they can have "a touch of mother/father" each time we turn it manually.

No just simpler.

I wouldn't say that the egg turner it'self would increase hatch rate, but it's very important to turn your eggs to keep them from sticking or "baking" to one side or the other of the egg.
