Hi all
I was just looking to find out if I have one of those automatic turners in my homemade incubator the cradling ones

And I have read mixed ideas about this and was wondeering if from day18 onward if I turn it off will they still hatch in the turner with the air cell up

Please give plenty of feedback

Jai:confused:

I take the turner out at day 18 and lay the eggs on a flat surface in the bator. Newly hatched baby chicks are very poor walkers and I worry about them getting caught in the turner.

I quickly put the eggs in a holder, take out the turner (after turning it off) and then quickly put the eggs back in. Momma leaves the nest for that amount of time, and I have not had a problem.

I would take them out of the turner and lie them on there side... its hard on their weak bodies to get out of their eggs propped up. I have an incubator with a wired floor and their legs are very fragile so I lay a towel at over the wire to reduce injure and just lie them on their side it makes it tons easier for them to hatch!!
