First Time Hatching Turkey...Please Help.

[jlgoinggreen]

Hi Everyone,
I've had my turkey eggs in my Brinsea Eco. Today is lockdown and I would like to switch them to my Genesis 1588 to hatch since there is more room in there. I have 10 turkey eggs and 4 chicken eggs I put in a week after my turkeys. I will be transferring them tonight after I candle them. I have the temp in the Genesis at 100 F and the humidity at 61%. Should I try to get humidity a little higher or will it go up when I put the eggs in? Any other advice?

If you could get the humidty up a little that would be good, 70% ish. You could just mist them down good when put them in. Good luck on your hatch

Thank you Steve. As of this morning I have the temp steady at 100 F and my humidity steady at 71%. I will be keeping my eye on it all day, but diligently sitting on my hands until they are done hatching.

Don't forget to click your heels together 3 times and say "everybody loves a turkey" when you go to check on them.
