If it's a 28-30 day incubation, when do I stop turning?

If, for a goose egg, it says that geese have a 28-30 day incubation, does that mean that I stop turning them at day 28? Or day 25? I wouldn't want to hurt them!

day 25

almost all will hatch at 28 days... 29 sometimes for pilgrim... but keep the eggs 30 days as you may still get the oddball hatching late

Thanks! I was hoping that wasn't a dumb question!

In Arizona do you even need an incubator or do you just lay eggs on the pavement?

I put them in the incubator to keep them COOL!

On the sidewalk they'd cook!
