Survey: How often and how much rotation when you turn?

[chickhamm]

They are staggered hatches, i have a still air little giant i hatch in. I set the eggs usually friday or saturday, day 18 comes i just move those eggs due to hatch over. I am going to try the hatching in the carton method this time and see how it works. LOL if that works, all i have to do is move the whole carton over.......

Theressa,
I like the idea of the egg carton, but I would think they might tip out of the carton when being turned. How do you prevent that?

I turn mine twice a day, the ones in the little giant bator. I had about a 95% hatch rate on my first hatch. Second only 2 hatched out of 10 because we had lost power.

My automatic turner in my other bator turns them about once every hour though.

I didnt turn mine I just put them under a broodie and 21 days later had chicks, never checked temp or humidity either
