Incubation for a turkey is supposed to be 28 days....maybe it IS a turkey/EE

Hmm. I am thinking maybe it isn't a turkey.

I have three pips! Today is day 22!


The one that pipped in the wrong area:











Congratulations to everyone with chicks and pips!

Here's turkey eggs......they are white/cream colored with brown speckles.



Poult...has a little bump on top of head, at the base of the beak where a chicken's comb would be.....you can see the little bump in this picture.



Hope this helps.....

When I got back from work today, there were 16 chicks hatched instead of the 5 I left when I went to work. Since I've been home, one more hatched and two more are in the process of ?zipping. Hope to see some more hatch before bedtime!!

Thanks for the advice. It helps just to have someone say, "leave it alone!" I knew that I should and sure enough 11 more hatched by the time I got home from work. so hard to watch them getting bowled all over the place!!

Ha, yes, so painful to watch...easier just to step away and check back for progress every 10-15 minutes. I did get to actually watch my first chick hatch with my daughter which was amazing. We actually got it on video. Glad to hear it's normal and that I wasn't cooking them!

Thanks!

My little guy with the stuck eyes is doing great! The one hasn't been stuck since earlier today, and the other was a few more times, but everytime I check they are now open.
