Just curious as to what those of you do if you are hand turning your eggs but need to go somewhere for more than a few hours?
No big deal, just make sure you turn before you leave and when you come back !!! How long are you planing on being gone for ??
I am hand turning eggs and have not went anywhere as I haven't anyone to turn them. I want these babies to hatch so I stay home.
As long as they get turned 3 times a day they will be fine, The eggs wont know what time your turning them. No need to stay in 24/7 to turn eggs !!!
I've turned eggs in the morning, after I got back from being out and before I went to sleep. I've turned twice a day and still had good results from local eggs, I can't say for shipped.
Until I found BYC it was normal to turn eggs 2 times a day. Seeing reasons behind it, it makes sense and now I know better and hope I have better luck with hatches.
