Pekin Ducks set to hatch May 27th....QUESTION!! HELP!!!

[MissD]

My 2nd grade class and I are so close to hatch day! We started out with 24 eggs and now are down to 13. Praying that they will all hatch! It has been a great learning experience for us all!!

Question: We have an automatic egg turner, I know you are supposed to take them out of the egg turner 3 days before they hatch, but I have a problem. Hatch Day is set for next Wednesday, and Monday is Memorial day so there is no school and I have no way to come in the building to take them out. Will they be okay f I take them out Tuesday early morning, or should I take them out this Friday night before the weekend? I wasn't sre if that would be too many days without turning.


Any advice is welcomed!!!!!!!!!!

I think the two days should be fine- it will still give them time to settle into a hatching position.

I had chicken eggs- and no hatch date- so I kept turning. I had 2 hatch the day after I last turned them. I stopped turning the last one, and it sat 4 days before peeping- and hatched!

Best of luck!
