    I don't know about it I have one I got a dimple in from a hen that lays rarely but I've been trying to get chick's from. I put it in any ways hoping for the best. Post and let us know how they do I'll do the same.

    eggs rocking

    Your humidity should be more like 65%-70% and the chicken egg's could start hatching at anytime personaly I never heard the cheaping until they had pipped but maybe its because I always had other chick's in the house. I'm not sure about the turkey egg's either.
