    Incubator disaster! Help!

    Since there is no way of knowing how long it was cold, I would continue as usual and see if they hatch. Were the eggs cool to the touch when you found the problem?

    Turkeys For 2013

    Thank you for the information. I too use a still air bator. The humidity has been 33% constantly with a 98 to 100 temp. I will raise the humidity and hope for the best. I agree that setting eggs all at once would have been better. I have a lot to learn.

    Eggs sink in water but rotten when opened

    The Turkeys decided to roost with the hens tonight. Apparently it didn't bother one of the hens.

    He or She?

    Hard to tell from the pic but my guess is rooster. The only thing you need to worry about is if you live in an area that crowing isn't allowed.

    Please help identify this rooster

    Thank you for the help. Wanted to hatch some eggs from him. Not sure what to breed him with either but they should be interesting birds.
