Candling Turkey Eggs - Day 10 - a little help PLEASE

[TarHeelBlue]

I just candled several of my turkey eggs - on some I can see growth - on the others it just looks like there is a big yolk floating around in the egg! Duds??? or late bloomers. I haven't done this before so I don't know what to think or where to go to get pics of turkey eggs.

Hoping for "good eggs". Can anybody help me with this - you guys are my knowledge base

Haven't candled turkey eggs yet, but I did do that with my brown eggs and quail. It took a VERY strong light to see development on the dark eggs. (I use a Streamlight Scorpion tactical flashlight with 42 lumens, and I can see everything) I would say that it is way too early to cull.

Dark room, bright light. Might need to wait a bit.

I'm using a very bright Scuba light (not sure of the lumens - will check) Thanks for the input, don't think I will even think of culling until day 20 or so.

I use a 9 bulb handheld LED minimag and can see very obvious veining and movement at 10 days. I go in a dark room to candle.

I don't cull a turkey egg untill 14 days just to be sure. Remember they develope slower than chicks.
