How many times do I turn?

[Roxannemc]

Is it true my eggs have to be turned an odd number of turns a day?

Guess i didnt make myself clear enough Sorry!.
I am doing 3 times a day but i actually have time for 4 times..each meal time and bedtime.
Wonder if that is better?Or worse b/c you actually need to do 5 times or 3 to let them sleep on a spot they didnt the night before.?Notevne where they are onthe same spot eac h night.( or Am I over thinking this?)

Yes that is correct.You want them on a different side each night. Turning them also helps the Chicks build their muscles they need to stand up after they hatch. So putting them on a different side each night helps both sides of the chick develop equally as well as them not sticking to the shell.
