Dead or alive egg??

[Bcoz18]

Are these eggs dead or alive. From what I can tell.. don't mind the music. My son was being goofy and making noises so I had to cover his noises up can anyone tell me if the time is correct. Going on 24 days..

Egg 1 is alive -

Egg 2 is dead no action -

Egg 4 is alive -

We are about to start our 4 day lock down.
Should I candle them again before the lock down.
Egg 2 isn't smelling or anything yet

Videos show as private but I’d say if it is day eighteen and the egg seems to have a blood ring around it or a suspicious smell, feel, or surface, then toss it or crack it open. However, if you want to check the egg again later and see if the chick is alive, you may find that the egg could’ve just been resting. Sorry for the general info but the video won’t show up for me. Sometimes you can tell a dead chick (As long as it is hard to tell with just a candle) by placing the egg in a bowl of warm or room temperature water and watching to see if the egg stays halfway submerged and halfway up. This can be dangerous sometimes though because if the egg lets too much water inside it could actually drown the chick. Hope this helps! Maybe put a photo?

I'm sorry new to adding youtube to show a video. I put the videos as Public now. See if that would work. For number two I saw some veins but nothing moving etc.

It works now!
So, I’m seeing the veins like you said. Looks like the chick is where it is supposed to be size-wise, taking up most of the shell. Not much movement for sure.
There does not appear to be a blood ring, and you said that the egg did not smell too much. Those are normally the signs of a bad egg… this is a tough guess. Based on the charts I’ve looked at for day 19-20, the egg looks right. What has your overall temperature and humidity been?

Right now it's at 99.5 and pretty steady.. sometimes may bump up to 100.0 but right back down to 99.5 and humidity Is 50-55 never let it below 50

Alright, everything sounds fine. Personally my humidity stays around 35% because I do dry hatch but your wet hatch should work as well. I’m thinking that you should let the egg stay in the incubator for another day because it doesn’t seem to be very rotten or definitely dead. Maybe put it away from the other eggs just in case for precaution. But yes, I would personally leave it be and maybe check later today for any improvement, as there is no blood ring and you see the veins still.
Also, around this time they would be generating their own heat, not a lot but some, so one way to check would be holding it out of the incubator for a bit and seeing if the egg cools or stays room temperature/warm compared to the other good eggs!

According to the incubator information turkey eggs hatch in 28 days, tomorrow will be 24 days and then goes to lock down which stays in incubator but auto turning turned off for them 4 days and they stay locked in there no touchy touchy or opening it. I'll look tomorrow and then lock them down.. hope I see progress. This is her first year of laying eggs so didn't think I see much took her first 4 eggs for the incubator and she's sitting on 15eggs outside so just seeing how it all works first time.

Oh I’m sorry! Guess i should’ve asked what egg you were hatching! That is completely my mistake. I was going off chicken eggs!

That's okay I should have said that in the first post
