Turner not working.

[Cmstudent]

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that my turner was not working for the first five days and wonder if that could possibly ruin my hatch.

Any insight or reassurance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Turning is very important.

At this point all you can do is to keep after turning them and see how they do. I would think that if they are alive and growing now, no major damage has been done.

When I get shipped eggs I usually don't start turning til day 2 or 3. I just let them rest more. It shouldn't be a problem but do try to keep the turner going now. It helps keep the fertile disc from sticking to one side too long and it exercises the embryos.

Ok thanks guys that makes me not worry so much.

Oh btw I'm now manually turning the turner about 3-4 times a day.
