My one little turkey has internally piped!

I know it can take awhile for chicks to hatch after the external peep... but do ducklings usually take awhile too??
(So nervous for this hatch, might be my prego emotions taking hold here but im afrad of loosing them all) ​

I hatched some out earlier this year, I waited & waited & waited. I had to go to work, came back and they were both out of their eggs! I was so happy!

Still waiting....

I use Ustream. I had a web cam in the incubator connected to a laptop. The laptop streams to the web service

I may have to look into that for the next hatch!!
I know alot of people that would LOVE to watch them just pop right outta of their eggs. ​

My incubator is freaking out!! I locked down at 3 and its yet to get back up to 99.5 but is reading 103-104° on the face. And my 3 thermometers that are all calibrated and matching exact temp until now are all 3 reading different temps!! 102°, 98°, & 96°! I can tell if I'm cooking the eggs or freezing them, good Lord.. today has not been a good day for chickens at my house. 2 dead and now my hatch is in jeopardy.. Geesh. I need a glass of wine.. and a cabinet incubator.
I may just be celebrating everyone else's hatches this time around.

It’s 1:30 in the morning do you know where your chicks are?
The eggs are still there, humidity is doing great temps are good. First piped egg is making progress slowly which is fine as it’s very early.
What am I doing up? BBL

Agree bad day for chickens. Hope your thermometers come around.
I went to feed last night after helping neighbor with some grading in his yard and found way to many white feathers spread everywhere. Quick check yep leghorn cross is still there and so is the only other hen that would have white feathers. No body to be found. Going to look more tomorrow.
Sorry your hen died.
