Should we take the turner out?

The 23rd of Feb will be the 18th day and this is our first time with the turner. Should we take the turner out on the 23rd or leave it until they hatch?

Take the turner out. Chicks can get caught up in it after they hatch.

Most of the instructions that I have read want you on day 18 to remove turner and put eggs back in bator on bottom wire floor, Good luck!

I'm using a turner and plan on taking it out and putting the eggs in cartons on the last three days. I'm using the styrofoam ones and cutting of the top and the bumps in between the egg cupe for better air circulation.

I like this idea.. you can lay the eggs on their sides in these cut-up cartons..

I have left the turners in during hatch, but it really messes the turners up and you have to clean them..
