How many times a day do you turn your eggs?

[Rip Canon]

I think the "3 hand turns a day at least", makes most sense because evolutionarily a hen would inadvertently shift eggs while on the nest AND turn them beneath her in a 12 hour waking cycle.

When I was hatching BCM eggs the incubator had an automatic turner to turn the eggs every 2 hours.

My incubator is set for 6x a day to turn eggs

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

3 times a day is good but if you're using an incubator, see if it has automatic turning for you, which is the way to go but if it's not, use your hand but clean hands is best!!

If I hand turn. Once a week maybe Seriously. They hatch just fine.

My incubator now has an autoturner, thankfully.

 

[Mary Chapman]

I hand turn 3 times per day

I only did like every three days

The best result is you need to imitate the mother process.
they turn 96 times a day
but the motor life maybe lower if we follow it

I’m letting’ Broody Momma take care of this.... with one caveat- when I pull them for candling.
