Help, day 16 - eggs rocking

[ChickenMullets]

I have 6 chicken eggs inside my incubator, candled this morning- all are moving inside the egg. This is my first time—and 4 of them are occasionally rocking around on their own inside the incubator. Should I remove the egg turner even though it's still early?

Is removing the egg turner on day 16 okay if only 4 of the 6 are rocking? Will this affect the two that are not rocking?

If I remove the turner should I also raise the humidity and lock it down till they hatch?

Don't want to mess up these Baby Swedish flower hens.

You sure can. I do a 5-day lockdown due to having some pip on day 18. Yes, treat them as if in lockdown.

Wishing you a great hatch!

Thank you. I will post photos here when the babies hatch.

How did it go with these?! I’m day 15/16 now with 5 bantam eggs and they’re rocking!! I swear it’s worse than my own pregnancies with the worry and excitement

I hatched 3/6 of them. I dont think it had anything to do with locking down early - they were shipped eggs and have less hatch rate. should be okay
