Valentines Day Hatch-A-Long 2016

So in the time from my last report til now when I got home a second one zipped and hatched! He must not have been able to see the pip. Another of the mixes though, still nothing from the shipped eggs...

I'm sure yours must be the younger eggs! Give them some more time. (And next time mark them! ;) )

I'm planning on eggtopsying any quitters, if you want to too we can compare notes.

Sounds good. I did that with the one that died before totally zipping. Poor thing had its head turned wrong. I guess it ran out of air.

This is my third hatch ever and so far I have 7 hatched out of 11 is that good.
My breed us bourbon red turkeys.

Hopefully this will make you feel even better. When determining your "hatch rate", you remove all eggs that were not fertile from your count. So, let's say that 4 of your 11 eggs weren't fertile to start with (they never developed at all during the incubation), then your hatch rate is 100%. Woot!!

Turkey eggs are slightly more difficult than chicken eggs to hatch, so you had a great hatch, WTG!
 
well the other four still developed so it is 64% still good?
Better than mine so far. I locked down 30 and only 12 hatched so far. I'm going to give them until Tuesday because some were slightly younger. I don't think I'll do a staggered again. To much stress
