Turning the eggs, When to and how many times!!

[n2thestorm5032]

Exactly what the subject said... How many times do I turn the eggs, at what times during the day, and would they be ok at night while I sleep?

Most people say 3 times a day. They will be fine at night. I personally turn mine once a day sometimes if I am lucky to have enough time I turn them twice. I have had all but 2 eggs hatch (those 2 had bacteria in the sir sac from where they got dropped) so I really think it's just preference. The idea is to keep the chick for just laying on that one side.

so turn them atleast ounce a day, at the most 3, but you think ounce is just as good! alright if I get chicks and incubator I will do that, I was just thinking ahead!
