Not a problem. Turning ensures the yolk and albumen are centered inside the egg and forgetting once or even a few times will not adversely effect the chicks growth.

How can you incubate chicken eggs without an incubator?
Set up a box to use as a nest and use a 60w-75w incandescent globe to provide heat. (If you have a thermometer - about 100 degrees F is good.) Roll the eggs each day using moist fingers (this provides the small amount of humidity required.) Chicken Eggs take approximately 21 days to hatch. By the end of the first week you will be able to candle the eggs and see the veins forming and even the embryo's eye! Around the 18th day you may be able to hear "peeping" and pecking from inside the egg. Don't be tempted to "help" the bird - it may hatch too early and die. If you don't have a globe or a lamp, you can do what I do - I pad out our Towel Heater with towels and form a "cradle" at the back - sitting the eggs between the towel heater and the wall. The temperature seems to be perfect for hatching eggs.

A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
