Well then yes, you kind of did mess up

What are you going to do during lockdown? You won’t be able to turn the new eggs.....I guess your going to have to choose one clutch or the other

I don’t incubate eggs but I have done some research. I don’t prefer hand turning. I rather have self turning incubator. It’s nit as much work and it’s better for the eggs

Get an egg turner or choose one clutch.
Day 14, you only have 4 more days to get one so hurry up

1. Spreading bacteria from your hands to the eggs

2. Turning the eggs too fast

3. Rubbing the protective coat of the egg

There are many reasons
