[smilie=welcome.gif] 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.

you can also use non toxic laundry markers - these stay on thru the incubation process sometimes pencil rubs off

if possible turn every 2hours but otherwise 3 times a day is ok
turn them gently and dont drop them back down into the incubator place them gently

Glad you found out that your incubator has an automatic turning device.
