Turn X not turning duck eggs?

[mandabach]

I have a dozen ancona eggs in this Turn-x incubator that I borrowed.

I check them ever hour or so, and some are in the same position, some look to be between 1/8 to 3/8 turned. Rarely will an egg appear to have turned a full 1/2 or more.

I have marked the rim and the dome so I know the dome and the turning rack are moving.

I have placed the turning arm in the outer most hole, for larger eggs.

any ideas? This is day three of the incubation cycle.

Never used one but until you figure it out, it may not hurt to do a half turn by hand every other day. Just an idea.

I've actually started a five turn a day regimen.

Could that be too much?

You probably can't turn them too much, except at the end. I was just trying to make things easy on you and it seems they are getting some automatic turning. I assume you have the eggs marked to check their turning. If not, mark the top side of each egg at the same time and observe what happens over the next couple hours.

Thank you!
