if i leave the turner on will it hurt the chicks?

[KWAK]

I cant remember when they are due... eggs "look" like the chicks take up 1/2 the egg but not sure when to take the turner out... will it hurt them to leave it in/on?

The only worry is that the chick will get caught in between the turning... *SQUISH* Not good...

I had a duckling hatch early and the duckling ended up laying against the turner motor. The motor fried one wing of the duckling. The duckling survived but with only one wing.

should i leave it on or just turn it off now and hope for the best?
and how long do u think till they hatch??? i think i sat them on the 3rd of march but idk if they eggs are developed enough for being in the bator that long??? any i deas? ps- candled all and only 3 were bad...

If you put them in on the 3rd, then today is lockdown. I would remove the turner and put the eggs in egg cartons and add some water for correct humidity for hatching.

but does it sound right 1/2 to 3/4 of the egg full?

I would hate to have to clean the turner what a mess that would be.

Just remember most turners have a motor, and it generates a lot of heat... if you take it out or turn it off, the temp in your bator may drop. Keep an eye on it.
