Need Help with LockDown Advice

[Jax80904]

Hello,
This is my first time hatching eggs. I have my chicken eggs in the incubator at my school. They were put in the incubator on April 2nd.
Is it better to remove the egg turner and "lock down" the incubator earlier or later? I can come do it Saturday, or I can wait until Monday but I can't come in on Sunday.
Any advice would be appreciated.
THANK YOU

At day 18 you can stop rotating. The chick then gets into position for the hatch over the next 3 days. Some people choose to continue rotating you just need to watch were the pips are when they begin.

If I had to pick I would say earlier

You should remove the egg turner. Anytime after the 15th day should be safe

Earlier is better. The eggs need to rest unturned to give the chick time to orient itself for hatching.
