I am going to try and get to Tractor Supply to purchase another turner before this weekend, but I cant guarantee I will be able to. Its about 30 minutes away, and I work every day until 5. I have eggs being delivered today and tomorrow. One empty incubator and one full of eggs- two hatches, due to hatch on Tuesday and the following week.
I am leaving early Saturday morning, and returning on Sunday night. I could technically turn eggs before I go Saturday(6 a.m.) and when I return (after 9pm) on Sunday. I really dont trust nor want my 15yr old to touch the incubator/eggs...probably would not put the lid on right or forget, etc...my temps have run a little on the high end consistently with the eggs that I have in the incubator with the turner. I plan on leaving them in and stressing over it the whole time I am gone.
However, if I turn the new eggs (Show Girls and coturnix quail) three times a day until Saturday morning then dont turn them again until I get back home Sunday night, will they be okay?
Ugh- if I would have known ahead of time that I was going to be out of town overnight, I could have planned better.
