Hey everyone. I just set my very first turkey eggs ams I was curious what humidity to incubate them at. I usually use dry incubation with my chicken eggs and have great hatches keeping the humidity between 25-35%. I want to make sure I do this right though with the turkeys.
 
Just track the air cells, remembering that it will take proportionately more days to get to the same stage as chicken eggs.

Starting the fourth week of incubation, I reduce the temp in my incubator to the lower end of the range. If you don't have a digital incubator, don't touch the settings.

The only real difference I've found in incubating turkeys vs chickens is the additional week for something to go wrong.

Happy hatching!
