Hey y’all! So I am totally new to incubating / turkey / anything to do with eggs! I have been doing a ton of research and I am somewhat educated on the basics.
So…… here’s the back story. We have a hen that laid eggs, something got her eggs. We took the last 3 and put them in the incubator. We aren’t really sure what day we are on because she didn’t truly dedicate to sitting on them until July 11th. So we based off that day to count 28 days from. Long story short, out of the 3, one seems to be the only one alive because I candled them and only seen movement out of this LAST ONE. I am extremely dedicated to saving this little angel!! SO PLEASE HELP ME!
I currently have the incubator set at 99 degrees with 77 % humidity. I think that’s a little high? I don’t want to jeopardize this little guy/girl but I also don’t want it to dry out. It’s been set at this for at least 2 days because based on our calculations they were supposed to be hatching within the next 3-4 days. It is ROCKING like crazy today! I can’t hear any peeping or anything from outside the incubator. Is my humidity too high? I’ve read mixed things on this! I haven’t seen an external pip and I haven’t candled it from fear of messing anything up so I don’t know if it has internally pipped either.
ALL FEEDBACK WELCOMED! Please be nice!
