Too late to turn?

[Everose]

I started some Saxony eggs a week ago and I'm just now realizing that my egg turner hasn't been turning them. So I'm just wondering if I start turning them by hand should they still develop normally? This hasn't been too damaging to their development right?

I think they will be fine.

Turning is especially crucial in the early stages of incubation and less so in the later.. according to my current understanding and all the research I've done.

My actual experience hatching is that sometimes we mess it all up and life still finds a way!

I've had this happen before and my experience was a decrease in viability with more quitters, but those who made it to hatch did just fine. So don't give up on them, but try in the future to observe the turner working early on.

All you can do is turn that thing on and let it turn as much as you can or turn by hand every time you think about it.
