![[smilie=welcome.gif]](./images/smilies/welcome.gif "welcome") TurnEggs,What brand is the incubator? You can buy auto turner attachments for some brands. Fertile chook eggs generally hatch in 21 days. A thermometer and a hygrometer which measures humidity are handy things to also have. Most people mark their eggs, using a pencil, with an X on one side so they known which side of the egg has been turned. Make sure to turn the eggs at least 3 times a day.
