When to remove egg turner

[JrHighChickens]

Would it hurt to remove the egg turner on Day 17? I have my incubator in my Middle School classroom. I work quite a bit away from my school. I was wondering if I could remove it tomorrow at the end of the day, instead of having to drive over here on Saturday to do it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Not sure what you decided, but in my opinion I would remove them on day 17 as opposed to day 20. Therefore they can have an easier time pipping. I hope you have a successful hatch!!!

HELP HELP!!!! This is my second time incubating and my first hatch was more sussecsfull at this point!!! I have 6 eggs left out of 18 and we are on day 19. I removed them from the egg turner yesterday and bumped the humidity up to 65% I have the farm innovators 4200 circulated air incubator with an automatic turner. Last time I hatched at this time exactly they were all rocking around, what happened why aren't these?!?!?! I understand no chirps yet they may have not pipped internally yet but why no rocking? I'm so scared why do I do? There is one that is moving (#18) but it's not rocking. It's vibrating. It's. It the incubator because it stops and starts but it is unusual. HELP!!!

I was told by a 40 year veteran who hatches numerous types of eggs....that in Arkansas and other high humidity areas to actually dry hatch. Which means remove all water from bator 3 days before hatching is due, so if removing egg Turner do it all then

I was told not to remove the egg Turner and lay the eggs on the wire that it can cause them not able to hatch break the egg ??
I have two Americauna roosters with all my hens I have a mixed flock. I had put some Americauna eggs in their and red sex links and leghorns and one Cornish rock egg .

After these hatch I am going to incabat duck eggs .
I know hatch time is 28 days but would the humidity be the same ?
Also I'll be having some baby Pekin ducks sooner then my chickens hatch I have females an one male duck and my one female has been laying on her eggs all day n night gets off for bout 1/2 hour to eat drink and bath swim .
Also found out you know when they swim bath that their getting the humidity for the eggs ?

First time hatching eggs. My day count on my automatic incubator is on day 08. Any advice? First time doing this.
So if it says on day 08 left. Means I'm on day 13? 8 more days to go?

 

[CheeksFarm]

And how long once they hatch how many days are they to be kept in their?

My hatch date is suppose to

Stop turning on day 18. Bump up humidity to around 65%

My hatch date is suppose to bw Tuesday. N three others will be Wednesday. I was told not to remove the egg Turner cause if so then they can't hatch or something ? But when they so hatch they would get hurt on it. And when they get ready to hatch don't they be laying on their side and break their way out
