Dont turn the eggs. Your 88 degrees sounds ok for incubation. Hows the humidity? Have you candled them to see if they are fertile?

COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO DO IT I HAVE HEARD OF IT BUT NEVER TRIED ALWAYS AFRAID I BURN THE EGGS

It doesnt mean literally taking a candle to them. Just shine a flashlight thru the egg from the back. If you see veins thru the shell, they are viable. If no veins, most likely infertile.
