I have five bourbon red turkey egg that I would like to hatch. I have one turkey hen, chickens and an Rcom20 incubator.
I would like the turkey to hatch these eggs as it would make the transition of putting them with her easier. My problem with the above is that it is still cold where I live, and if she doesn't take to them right away they will freeze.
With the chickens, would they get up after 21 days of setting? I'm kind of afraid to take that chance.
My incubator manual that I found on the internet doesn't give me much info. Does anyone know it it's forced or still air? If I decide to use it, what temp and humidity does it need to be, and what do I lower it to in 24 days? I've also read that the humidity needs to be raised to 80% on day 24, but I don't remember this unit getting over 70. Would this be a problem?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I just don't know which is the best way to go here. Thanks.
