They should start pipping on day 21, but it could be sooner or later. Once they've pipped internally you may be able to hear them and you may see the eggs rock as the chicks get into position to pip and zip.

That's great! I hope this hatch goes well for you

I was actually thinking that would be an option. You know what you can do? Put them in egg cartons and tilt the cartons by placing something under one side. It will take you a few seconds each time so you won't risk the humidity for the hatching eggs too much. That way they can stay upright and...

I did a quick search, but I didn't find anything useful. You should be allowed to remove only one tray at a time IMO. If the tray won't budge I think place the eggs in the middle and see how severe the bumps are and if it's serious we'll have to think some more.

I see what you mean. So you want to put the lockdown eggs in the middle, between the trays and the trays are knocking them. Would it be tricky to remove at least one of the trays? What does the instructions suggest you do during lockdown?

What model have you got? I don't think it would matter so much if the eggs get tapped a bit, but if they get knocked around too much it could disorientate the chicks.

Staggered hatches can be tricky and lots of us have different ways of doing it and other things. You'll get 5 different answers and suggestions for this scenario if you ask enough people! I think what you should do is what Quyen Le suggested and keep the humidity at 60%. Once the chicks start...

When are the turkey eggs due? If you set them a week before the chicken eggs so they'll hatch at the same time it's fine. If they are not ready for lockdown the extra humidity could cause problems.

What was your humidity at up 'till now? Ideally you should incubate at no higher than 55% and then bump it up to 65-70% during the last 3 days.

Which one did you choose? The 55% humidity (correct) or the 65% (too high).
