my entire flock was slaughtered the other day from coons.... yes we are trying to remedy the coop, took em 2 years to find a way in, thought we were secure..... anyway, my wife is devastated... we had enough fertile eggs, so we threw them in the bator.... it's been a couple years since i hatched, i was letting the broodies do it.... my question is this... my bator is pretty full, with an egg turner in it... i was wondering do you take the eggs out of the turner and just lay them in the bator 3 days prior to hatch (lockdown).... it just doesn't seem that there's nowhere for the chicks to go with the egg turner in there..... thanks guys..
 
Yes, 3 days prior to hatch you have to take the egg turner out. Stop turning the eggs, and keep the 'bator
closed. The chicks need to position themselves for hatch, and shouldn't be turned.

Sorry for your losses
