I removed the egg turner at day 18. 8 of my 10 fertile eggs hatched on the early side. However, two seemed destined to hatch right on day 21. However, one pipped and then stayed in the egg. The other never pipped.
If you remember back, I thought the floor of my incubator seemed much colder than the temp in the turner.
I sort of got the feeling that the 8 were completely developed when they were moved to the colder floor, but the other 2 weren't--and the cooler environment kept them from doing their final development.
I think I may hatch in egg cartons next time (like mahonri says) to raise up the eggs to the warmer air.
