Got the mini-frige bator up and runnin and holding temp and humity. THANKS TO ALL YALL ON HERE!!!!!!!! but now to figure out the turning. I don't really want to eat the money on an automatic turner.
So questions are to turn by hand is 3 times a day really enough morning, afternoon, and before bed?? and if I use the carton method, does it matter if carton is elevated end for end, or side to side?? I'm thinking either a PVC frame on a tilt table, or simply a piece of wood under the carton (with wholes in bottem for air flow).
On another note to turn by hand, flat on wire screen is it just side to side?? X on one side and O on other for reference??
I'm pretty handy, so any ideas for auto turner, or semi auto turner will be appreicated, but I'm not sure of the basics of how an auto turner works. Degrees off center, range of movement, or how much pivot, call it what you will. If an egg is standing on pointed end straight up, how much does it need to move to count as turn???
Thanks in advance.
