Turning eggs by hand vs egg turner

[nao57]

It's recommended to turn an odd number of times so that they spend nights(or whatever your longest period without turning would be) on opposite sides, so 3x would be your minimum. More turning is generally better. The info I've seen suggests that the most critical period for turning is days 4-7, so if you can turn more on those days I would do it. But 3x is a fine minimum that works for a lot of people.

Wow. Thanks.

I would never have imagined something like an odd number of turns being ideal. But it does make sense.
