Personally, when I have an incubator full of eggs and some are ready to hatch but some aren't, I leave the turner in. The chicks can hatch in the turners, you might just need to keep an eye on them. Sometimes mine will hatch but just sit in the bottom of the shell in the turner, so I'll just pull them out. Hope that helped, good luck hatching!
So leave the Turner on? N the chicks that r hatching will be ok??, now. How long to leave the in after they hatch?? 24hrs??
Thank you☺Yes, leaving the turner on will be alright. Just keep an eye on them and help any chicks who are stuck sitting in the turner. It won't hurt them. After they hatch, I usually leave them in for 12-24 hours and then move them to a brooder with a heat lamp. Just check on them every so often after they hatch to see how dry they are. Once they are fluffy and their feathers are sticking to them, they are alright to go into the brooder.
I would not leave the turner on. There is a chance of injury to the chicks.
