Hatching help Turkey eggs

[mswendeu]

Hi everyone I am growing concerned. I had 4 Royal Palm turkey eggs shipped to me. I set them in the incubator on 4/4/22. At the 10 day mark only two had shown progress. On 4/30 I candled for lockdown one of the remaining two looked eggcellent. The second well it was and still is iffy. I moved them to a different incubator as I have 5 bourbon red eggs set on 4/7/22 that wouldn’t go into lockdown until 5/5/22. I have been having issues keeping the humidity above 50%. I don’t want to overdo and have them drown either by adding a lot of extra water now. As of late last night 5/3 there was still no outward signs of pip so I candled and water candled the RPs to check for signs of life. Of the two one still iffy the other had movement. So I am thinking if they don’t externally pip by lockdown after the second full day of the bourbons lock down. That I will move them both back in with them. Maybe the others and the original incubator will help the progression? Do you think this is a bad idea? Also, when I put the others in lock down What should he the target humidity for hatch? Thanks in advance for your input I am just generally frustrated now.

Thank you I hope this person sees this and has some suggestion. Today is lockdown day for the bourbons. And still there is no further advance on the RPs. I realized last night that the other incubator may potentially be leaking as I found water dripping from underneath. This could be the problem with my humidity level as well I suspect.

I was reading a comment on a page I am a member of about the change in temperature from being in the egg turner and during lockdown being on the floor of the incubator. I am wondering what others think about that slowing progression as well?
