I don't know how I did it, but somehow I cannot count to 21! I thought my hatch date was today 1/12/2013, but when I did not hear any pipping this am, I wondered what was wrong. I went back to the calendar and I think I was off about 2-3 days. I stopped turning my eggs 3 days ago and went on lock-down increasing the humidity and I read to decrease my incubator temp just so slightly to 98.5 to help the larger chicks not over heat while trying to hatch out...so I did that yesterday. I went ahead and turned them this am, but I don't want to twist a yolk sac, but I was also afraid that they would stick to the side of the egg. Has anyone else made this mistake before and do you have any advice. I feel just horrible about it.
Thanks

Some folks stop turning eggs after day 7 because the embryos are capable of wiggling around so much. I have locked down as early as 6 days before hatch and had no problem. I think you'll be fine.
