turning eggs

Earlier in this thread someone said they go three days without turning and have successful hatches.

so you think it could be fine? I'm going to have to talk to the the teacher leading the project on Tuesday about what we should do, or if we want to take that risk...

My best hatches are when i dont worry about the eggs. I dont turn as often, i don't candle every day, i don't keep trying to correct the temperature or humidity. I just let them go. I put the eggs in at around 99 degrees in my brinsea. Dont turn for 3 days. On the 4th day i turn. Then i turn again when i remember. usually on day 6. Then turn again whenever. Im so inconsistent with turning. Honestly i dont know if im wrong or not but for me this works. When i turned 3-5 times everyday i would get horrible hatch rates. I just try to be completely numb during the hatching process because my OCD will kick in and ill end up getting a bunch of quitters or late deaths.

Here's the post I referenced. I personally don't know.

yeah, I found that one and I think since we're not desperate to have a perfect hatch rate, we can afford to take the risk, but I'll have to see what everyone else thinks. If not I can find a good solution

Hello, i couldn't find a way to start new thread, I have to ask through this medium, its all about egg turning:
Can eggs be under continuous or constant turning throughout the incubation?

Automatic egg turners seem to continuously turn. My little giant turner rocks back and forth every 4 hrs. From what I've read the purpose has something to do with how the developing embryo has access to the yolk. I am not so sure though about that last part and would love confirmation or correction.
