Was a hen sitting on them before you put them in the incubator?

Yes

Here is your answer. Your expected due date is off because they were partially incubated when you put them in. You will probably have a staggered hatch.

Good luck! How many have hatched so far?

Three so far! That is great news. Sometimes a hen sitting will start the process & you don’t have to wait as long!

I'd probably remove the egg turner and hope for the best, at this point. Good luck!

I am doing that today but I have other eggs that need turning as well so I will have too shuffle them around
