Incubating times

[linda2012]

I have some eggs in one of those styrofoam incubators with an egg turner. I read that a few days before hatching you should stop turning the eggs. Is it safe to take those eggs and put them in another container with a heat lamp set for the same temperature as my incubator? I ask because I have other eggs in their with different hatch dates and they still need to be turned. Thank you

I would say no. Correct humidity is key after day 18. Putting them into another container with a heat lamp would cause the humidity to mess up. The chicks could stick to the eggs membrane and die.
