Hi! Newby here !
i have one egg in the incubator and is the end of day 20.
I candled it to see if it was still moving.
I saw movement but saw some movement along the edge of the air cell area .
Can they poke through the membrane then suffocate if they don't get through the shell?
I've heard...
i had a turkey pass from poking through the air cell but never pipping.
I have a baby chick right now on day 20. Still moving and I think it poked through the air cell.
How long can they breath in the air cell before suffocating to death?
Thanks!
i have a week old turkey poult that is acting confused and will walk around in circles and fall down..
My young daughter will say she will see him run around and hit into walls.
I'm worried he won't make it. :(
Does anyone know what is going on?
Poult had splayed / spraddle leg and I used a small hairband and a peice of straw for the middle . Today he is not doing that so I took it off.
But what he still does is put his legs straight back and lays on his belly.
He won't stand nor put his feet underneath him.
He has been in a small...

I have a bunch of turkey eggs in my Incubator that got sent to me.
I would like a reference picture guide separate from the chicken guide to look at along the way to make sure I'm doing it right.
