What day are you on? Any day after day 14 is okay to remove the turner as the chicks can move on their own so don't need to be turned anymore.

So you want to stop turning the day 18 and day 17 eggs those are ready to get in position on their own. Leave the day 13, 10 and 5 in the turner. What turner are you using if it's one like in a styrofoam bator you can actually take the rows off the turner so you have a place to put the eggs that are hatching if not you can take them all out and hand turn the ones that aren't ready yet.

Hand turn until they are day 18 then you have to stop so they can get in position on their own.

I only have one incubator that has all the eggs in it, the 1st batch hatch day is 3/20, batch 2 hatch day is 3/21, and 3rd batch hatch day is 3/28. I will have to stop turning batch 3 on D13 if I get an external pip from batch 1 or 2, if Iam correct
