The idea of turning the eggs while incubating is to avoid that the embryo stick to one side of the shell. therefore, any number above two per day is advised. this could be repeated up to seven times a day if you have the time. Odd numbers are recommended in other specialised references such as books, other sites, farmers, but I could not understand why. At present I have an incubator with 48 eggs and I turn them once in the evening and once in the morning, may be I am taking a risk, I do not know, it is an experiment, It is 10 days old, I will let you know the result of the hatching when this happens, by the way the eggs are 13 Turkey eggs and 35 duck eggs. we are expecting to start hatching on day 29. wait and see.
