Turning on lockdown

[The duck father_]

I have a batch of eggs that are going into lockdown and some that arrived a week late. Would it be dangerous for me to turn the ones that are close to lockdown? It's an automatic incubator I don't know what's better turning the lockdown ones or opening it to turn the week late ones.

With only a week difference in time, I would stop turning them all when the first one are ready for lockdown.

You didn't say what kind of eggs you're dealing with. Most of the information I can find is for chicken eggs. It says turning is most important at the beginning of incubation, and by the last week turning doesn't really matter.
