I agree, I think that's the best bet.

I think less tinkering helps too. If you tinker too much there’s a lot of room for error

Do u have a good example for curled toes.. mine came off so I need a better way

This is one with bandaid shoes, I stole this picture from Google some time ago and I don't know who to give the credit to though, lol. Also, in cases with curled toes it's good to offer B2 riboflavin, poultry cell is a good one for that.

lol, Well...I'm a tinkerer by nature so I'm no help there.

I think I like the turner better than hand turning now because I tinker too much

Speaking of egg turners I had what I'm calling a @FortCluck moment where I was like...I know all the instructions say to do "this"...but I'm going to see what happens when I do "this", LOL!
I put turkey eggs in my NR360 and all but one of them rotated just fine. The biggest egg just sat on top of the turner and coasted around the incubator on top of it, lol. I didn't rotate it at all (at first because I forgot to and then I was like...well, let's just see what happens). I did have 2 quitters but the egg that never turned is FINE! I don't know if the motion from the turner moving was just enough even though the egg didn't actually rotate or what! We'll see what happens when he hatches this weekend.

Hmmm should I try some eggs not turned at all? I think that’s what you’re saying to me

Noooo! LOL! I'm not encouraging MY bad behavior. I just thought you should know that I was influenced by your "let's see what happens when I do this" approach and so far so good!

I’m going to do it now lol. I have plenty of eggs to test. I won’t turn till day 10 and I’ll see if there’s issues.

I sold ALL my chicks Including the quail

Hello Everyone,
I had 15 Serama eggs and on day 19, 1 hatched. Today is day 21. How long should I wait before for the others to MAYBE hatch? I was told that Serama eggs hatch on day 19 but can't seem to find the answer to my question.
