Gee.... assume day 14 maybe if he said two weeks?

You may be able to tell from the size of the air cell... where did I see that chart?

I'll see if I can find the link for you - maybe that might help.

OK, found one pic of what I was looking for - does this help??

It looks about right I am just nervous that if i stop turning when I think I should it will be to early and they will stick

I would error on the side of continuing to turn the eggs until you see one of them Peeki'n, then I would for sure stop.

I have an automatic egg turner, I have had eggs hatch while being turned (as I was at work at the time).

The chics were fine.
