Hi! What are the consequences fo continuing to turn the eggs on days 18, 19, and 20? We raised the humidity but kept turning them 3 times a day, stopping late in the afternoon on day 20.

We are on day 21 and have 2 pips out of 8 eggs.
 
You'll be fine! Extra turning doesn't hurt, in my experience, as long as they are out of the turner by the time the chicks actually come out--the main danger is the babies getting caught in the mechanism.

2 out of 8 this early on Day 21 is great. They can come a little late if there were temp fluctuations or the temp was a little low, or any number of other factors. Did you candle at lockdown? How many were still good?
 
they will find out how many are good soon enough!
