How do you turn a bird egg?
Turning is literally that - eggs are turned during incubation. Incubated by the parent, the bird randomly shuffles the eggs around beneath it several times a day. In an incubator eggs are mechanically turned-over around, typically once every hour. Early in incubation, moving the eggs brings the embryo into contact with a fresh area of the surface of the yolk, the food for the embryo. Turning has other effects later in incubation.
How do you incuvated eggs for chickens?
Incubate at a constant temperature of 99.5F (or a range from 99-102F). Turn the eggs several times a day (an odd number so that eggs come to rest at a different position at the end of each day) from days 1-18. Stop turning at day 18, so that the chicks can position themselves for hatching. Hatch day is usually on day 21, but environmental factors (as well as the chicken breed) can affect the hatch date (usually hatch on day 19-23).

How often do you turn your incubating duck eggs?
Turnig eggs when they are incubating is important so that the egg is incubated evenly and the embryo does not get stuck to the shell membrane. It has been proven that more turning equals better hatching. This is best carried out automatically, but a minimum of three to five times in 24 hours is recommended if turning by hand. Some incubators are semi-automatic which means you push a leaver, turning the eggs on a grid. This is preferable to handling each egg because losing temperature and possibly introducing undesirable bacteria from your hands. Other kinds of incubators are fully automatic, and have a process which turns the eggs continuously.
Why do you stop turning chicken and pheasant eggs?
You stop turning chicken and pheasant eggs a few days before they are due to hatch, typically around day 18 for chickens and day 24 for pheasants. This allows the embryos to position themselves properly for hatching. Additionally, ceasing turning helps the chicks develop the necessary strength to break through the shell. Failure to stop turning at the right time can lead to poor hatching rates or developmental issues.
