Tilt egg turning is a type of automatic egg turning that tilts the eggs instead of rotating them. I don't usually use them in my smaller incubators because of the bunching up, but I am using them in my larger incubator as I don't want to stand there and hand-turn 30+ eggs 3-4 times a day. Yes, they are more work than the tilt egg turners are, but they are better than hand turning. We have three incubators from Amazon and this is the style that they are. This is as simple as taking the bottom egg and placing it back at the top of the rows. The eggs do occasionally “bunch” up at the end of the rollers, and you'll need to reset them.
This type of egg turner is still a little bit of work for you, but not as much as manual egg turning. It involves an incubator with automatic egg turners that rotates the eggs at regular intervals. Automatic Egg TurningĪutomatic egg turning is like a series of rollers that the eggs lay on. This type of egg turn is suitable for small-scale incubation, but it can be time-consuming and difficult to maintain consistent turning intervals. It involves physically turning the eggs by hand several times a day. Manual egg turning is the most basic type of egg turn. The nice thing about turning eggs manually is that you know when they were turned last, and every day.
