hello I have no idea what I'm doing and getting babies in couple days. I don't know what a baby on or Turner is! I know I need to keep them out for up to 24 hours. I don't even know tempature even though incubator stated autotemp. Sorry about the thing I'm shaking so bad. Please help truly chicken.
 
Hi and welcome to BYC :frow We're so happy you've decided to join us:ya

First stop and take a deep breath. What kind of incubator do you have, please be specific. What type of eggs do you have and where did they come from?
You'll want to checkout @Sally Sunshine 's thread hatching 101 @WVduckchick if you stop by, you're a better hatcher than I am...
 
Remove the turner 3 days before hatch day. Don't open the lid until they unzip and hatch. Leave them in the bator until they dry. Have your warm brooder tub ready. NOT TO HOT. Use a thermometer in the brooder to adjust the heat. Don't feed them until the day after they hatch.
Get ready to have some fun! Take some pix! Share them w/us.

Welcome! You've come to the right place to the answers you need!

I think you'll do just fine. Chickens are relatively straightforward. It's the people who don't take them seriously and neglect them that get in trouble. But I don't think you fall into that category!
