How many times a day do you turn your eggs?

[casportpony]

When using an incubator, how often do you turn your eggs? Do you do it by hand or are they in an automatic turner?

Back in the dark ages prior to automatic turners and computer websites about incubation, I hand turned eggs twice a day.

If you do use a turner, how many times a day does it turn?

I am curious as to what others are doing because I am about to set more eggs and am looking to improve my hatch rates.

Hm.. idk honestly, I've never counted. I just check several times a day to make sure its working properly..
