This is my first time using an automatic turner. I was planning on just turning it off. Is it necessary to actually remove it? I used some home made turners before and I did take them out if I had to have them for other eggs but left them in if I didn't. I just stopped turning them.

Yes and you can buy a little "humidy - reader" (I can't for the life of me think of what they are called

) at wal-mart. You need to make sure your bowls are covered with mesh or something similar because when the chicks hatch they will flop in the water and drown. You can also use wet sponges.

well this is my first time hatching at all and so far with the help of good friends we have done things right, thank god. my incubator also has an egg turner and by the way it looks i would definitly have to take it out for hatching cuz the babies would kill themselves if they got stuck in it..lol im gonna take my out on thursday which is my lock down day..
