If you cant reach then you cant hand turn them

i only turn mine twice a day, Just before work and after work

Are you supposed to turn more than once a day?

Last fall I had the motor on my automatic turner go out without me knowing it. The eggs weren't turned for over two weeks. Two of the three viable eggs still hatched. The third died while hatching. I'm thinking that turning, while important, may not be as important as we seem to think. I currently have two incubators going. One has a new automatic turner. The other contains eggs in an open carton. I have been placing a block of wood under one end of the carton and switching which end, once or twice a day. So far, both incubators have eggs in about the same level of development. We have one week to go. I will let you know how it goes.

I turned mine 3 times per day. With your shift, I would use auto-turn.
