I have a question about the Incuview Incubator. The auto turner I have set to turn of automatically at 3 days remaining.
I noticed the unit said 3 days but the auto turner was still working.
So when the unit says 3 day I take it that is referring to day 3-4? And the auto turner will automatically stop when the unit shows 2 days, which will actually be 2-3 days left. Is that correct? @aart what say you?

Never experienced it.
I removed the crank arm at lockdown....left tray in to avoid pin balling, removed crank and tray when using divider. Not crazy about the 'programming', because I don't entirely trust it and/or know exactly how it all works.

I also remove the arm now I am wondering if I was removing it a day early.

Why do you wonder, because of the program 'days'?
Not the end of the world if turning stops on day 17 or 18.

I use my good old paper calendar...and calendar and hatching notes on computer to keep track of what day it is.(and still sometimes get things screwed)

Yes , I am curious if when you enter the turning to stop at 3 days before hatch that equals 2 days on the read out. While it says 2 days it’s actually the 2-3 day time frame.
I set the hatch date via calendar on my phone also with reminders as I get closer.

The HatchABatch iPhone app? I know it used to start on the wrong day. It was a day ahead because it counted the first 24 hours as day 1 instead of starting after 24 hours had passed. I’m not sure if it was ever corrected or not.
