Can anyone tell me about no turn hatches positive's and negatives about it
 
I will be able to tell you in 3 days lol

I just incubated eggs without turning at all

purely by accident

they on day 19 today


main issue though is eggs need turning so they don't stick to side walls of eggs

One of the beneifits is that it gives the chicks "exercise" to hatch. One negative is that the chick tends to adhere to the membrane. This makes hatching more difficult for the chick.

I may be wrong (which recently I've been told more than once), but it is instinctive for the hen to turn her eggs periodically. This has gone on for millions of years, so why deviate from nature?

Here is a link I found about hatching eggs that I'd like to share.

good luck, and welcome to BYC!!!
