hi has the eggs in the inky for a fair few days turning them 3x a day but i have jently been turning them two rotations each, i read it somewhere on the net to do it, then read elswhere something else have do you think i could have caused any probs with them. new to this and worried thanks

sorry never used an incubator but hopefully somebody who has will be along soon to advise.

When you say 2 rotations, do you mean 360^o?

If so you are in effect putting them back where tey started.  My incy is automatic, but it turns the eggs every 2 hours and at an angle of about 45^o.  I think 3 times a day is fine though

Best thing to do is to put a cross on one side of each egg...... turn them three to five times a day so that one time you can see the cross and next time you cant see the cross.... always do it an odd number of times so that they spend the night on a different side each time.

Do it this way  and you wont go far wrong

hi thanx everyone, yes thats what ive been doing :blush:i thort so long as they were turned  well it stopped the yolk sticking ive done it gently for 2 days but just half turned them from this morn when i realised i was prob doing the wrong thing. will they be ok im even more worried now im a dosy mare!

As its still early days, maybe they are okay.  I'm no expert, having only used my incy twice so far!

Sometimes it seems they will either survive or not.  We do stupid things and they hatch fine, then another time we may be really careful but get a bad hatch anyway.

In the lap of the gods I think!!  Good luck with it!!
