Dry hatch for turkeys

[Gingersnap722]

Does anyone hatch turkeys using the dry hatch method? If so, what's your humidity level during incubation and what is it during the hatch?

Thanks!

I do dry incubation on turkeys.

I like to keep it 20 to 35 percent.

Raise it to 70 plus for hatch.

This was a lot of trial and error before I came up with what worked for me.

Thank you! I'm having the hardest time with turkey eggs. Chicken eggs, piece of cake, but these turkey eggs are frustrating me. I'll try this next time around.

I hatch all the same.
Chicken, quail, pheasant, and turkeys.

What humidity have you been running?

Have you done any eggtopsies. To see when they stopped developing.

What type of incubator?

What issues have you had.

I hatch chicken eggs all the time and don't have any issues. I've been using the Hovabator 1588 with an automatic egg turkey for the turkey eggs. I've had the humidity between 45-55% during incubation and about 63-65% during hatch. I haven't done any eggtopsies, but when I candle on lockdown day, the eggs are developed.
