Feeling disappointed😖

[turkey girl 0964]

I have been trying to incubate my turkey eggs for the last month and I only have 1 poult. My first batch none of them piped, the second one 1 piped but died in the shell third batch only one turkey hatched and this one nothin. They are all fertile and look healthy then they just die. I am putting 5 in very time and they are from my property I have a sweetgrass and a bronze. They are every healthy and feed good, they mate fine and are both about a year old. My incubator is a off-brand from amazon and I keep the temp and humidity good. I just don’t know why they keep dying. Anyone help!

Do you rotate the eggs for even heat?

It is an auto turner. I don't know if it is me the incubator or my eggs.

Is the temp and humidity calibrated? They could be off and ruining your rates

My humidity is calibrated , I calibrated it for 3 hours. I don't know how to calibrate the temp.

Having a second (maybe even third) thermometer to read temp and humidity just in case can be useful too! Just in case ones off a little

Buy a new incubator??

Yes, I was thinking of that. What incubator would you guys recommend for me? I want to make money selling poults but I don't have that many eggs so I wouldn't want one that is to big.

Which one do you have? I have the Kebonnixs off Amazon and I'm not having any luck either.
