ok i have 2 eggs which will be hatching . i have a hovabator w/turner. problem is i also have like 16 other eggs in the bator which are due to hatch in 20 days, so i need the turner- my question is how will the eggs hatch if theyre on a turner? when do i stop turning these (now?)i cant keep the chix in there now to dry off can i ? theyll get hit by the turner. help

Don't turn the last 3 days if possible. Can you turn off/unplug the turner, turn by hand for now? Chicks are better in there until they're dry(hours)If you have to take them out, try a heating pad, electric fry pan, anything draft free, warm, dry.
