First Hatch - Day 28??? No pips yet

[TarHeelBlue]

Yep, first time to try turkey eggs. This is day 28 and no pips yet. All 5 candled well - Humidity is at 70% and temp a stable 99.5. What should I expect? I know some chickens hatch a little early (my silkies popped out immediately - they knew I was anxious

) Are turkeys usually on time, a little late, ???? I just don't know what to expect and arrrrgh am having trouble sitting on my hands and not taking them out and shaking to see if anybody is home (not really)

Patience. Just last summer someone was having fits over their turkeys being late. But within a couple days they all hatched. If nothing is happening by day 31, I might start to worry, though.

Thanks, I just didn't know when I should start worrying - You just watch, they will pip and hatch while I am at work tomorrow! So here I sit on my hands and running over to check them every 5 minutes

Well, there you go!! Went to church and came back - two pipped!
