Yes, turning the egg is natures way of centering the yolk in the albumen as it develops.
The egg can be turned more often without ill effects but at least twice per day for 18 days is recommended.

Will eggs hatch even without a heating pad Cause i can't find a incubator and my chicken keep on breaking the eggs and eating them . I would like to have some chicks but i dont know what to do?
Eggs will not hatch if they have not been incubated either by a hen or by an incubator. And it's not the chickens that are breaking and eating your eggs. It's snakes, rats, raccoons, opossums and other such animals. I suggest you strengthen your coups defenses or bye/make an incubator otherwise you will never have your eggs hatch out.

How long it take hatch chicken eggs?
21 days is the incubation period. Keep in mind that the eggs must be started at the same time, the broody hen will not set on the eggs until she has gathered a full clutch. When collecting eggs for incubation, they can be safely stored for up to 7 days in cool humidity and turned daily without starting the embryonic development. Once enough eggs are collected all the collected eggs should be started at the same time and none added later or this will cause problems in the brooder box later as the younger weaker birds will be harassed by their older "siblings".
