It really isn't that hard. If you worry about every little thing you hear or read on internet it can seem terribly hard!! I don't like turners, I bought 1 used it about 3 times then stuck it in a closet, I prefer a more hands on method! and before you say you don't have time for that LOL I don't either!! I am alittle unconventional. They say you MUST turn eggs 3 times a day, not true. I work 65 hrs a week, I turn eggs at 5am before I leave and then again at 6-9pm when I return. I have done it this way for years and have a 98% hatch rate.

Think of yourself as the hen as someone else said previously.
