some species are probably out of season...I have 1 out of 6 guinea hens still laying and only a few of those are fertile.

chickens?? oh my which ones don't I love...do you have legbars or something that lays blue eggs? those or fun

I'm in Australia so its just the beginning of spring here...

Blue eggs do sound interesting...

If I was you, I would stop turning and raise the humidity on the 4th (Day 18)

Saying that, I have stopped turning and raised humidity on Day 17 (as I miss counted) and still had 100% that went into lock down hatch.

The turning will probably resume once the first one is out anyway hahaha, unless you hatch in egg trays.
