1. I turn mine every 12 hours on the dot. 9am and 9pm/..
2. They are to be turned at least every 8 hrs. Or 3 times a day, morning, evening, and night. I did so and had sucessful hatches. Me going to school, I turn them between 6-7 am. WHen off of school around 3 pm, and at nigh at 9-10 pm.
3. im sorry but you should of found this answer out when you first got the eggs or before. No one really knows what time you should turn the eggs. If you mess it up just remember that it might die.
4. well you should turn them at least every 8 hours. B/c you should turn them either 3 times a day or 5 times a day. So if you are doing it 3 times then you turn them every 8 hours but if you are doing it 5 times then you do it every 5 1/2 hours. Every 8 hours is easier. Put an X on one end of the egg and an O on the other to keep track of which ways you have turned them. HOPE THIS HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!! just curious, what breed of chickens are you hatching. I know its kinda random, but i just love to know what animals people have! I am kinda weird like that.
5. you should turn them evry 5 hours. and if you mess up a coupler of times it wont matter
