Are these developing?

[Abby125]

My turkey laid a nest and i cracked open two of the broken eggs and I cant exactly tell if they have started development. She wants to be a mom and I don't want to eat her eggs if her babies have started. Her nest was hidden so she was laying on them for a few hours today and yesterday. Ps that is dirt in the last pic not blood spots

Those look fertile. There’s a bullseye which indicates fertilization. If you want her to hatch poults she will get some from her eggs.

But do they look like they have started development yet

They just look fertilized, but after about 24 hours they have started to develop. You may not be able to see the development but it is there. Any egg that is fertilized and sat on will have some sort of development.

If she had sat on them for a few more hours, yes.

How long were they out from under her?

How long were they out from under her?

Only like 20 min because I candled them and she had a few really rotten eggs

Glad you got the rotten ones out because those can make quite a mess if they explode.

Oh yeah they smelled so bad. I hate rotten eggs
