egg turners

[JFL1950]

just curious what would happen if you kept the eggs in the turner till they started pipping then removed them to antor incubater for hatching?

Ive done that without any problem. Ive also forgotten to move them and found little chicks riding the turner back and forth. LOL

i don't recommend this, the babies can get stuck in the turner, The yellow one i have for my hovabator has huge gaps in the middle and if a chick was to fall down there and not be able to get out the turner would lock it's neck inbetween the trays.

Yes, it could hazardous to the chicks if you dont remember to check the eggs frequently and move them as soon as the pip.

i live them in the turner because in moving the eggs, i've accidentally broke some which is heartbreaking at 19 days in. so i leave the turner in there but just turn it off on day 19.
