Hatching Turkey eggs naturally, how long for??

[Tillysroost]

Hi i was hoping you lovely people could advise please, when i purchased the turkey eggs (i don't have a tom) the chap said they were 7 days old when i received them, i've counted on to 29 days and thought they were due yesterday however i think i was being a bit dense!!! Sould it be 29 days from the day i put them under the girls as this would give them another week? I haven't candled to see if any are viable. Thanks

I'm new to turkey hatching but I don't think the incubation process start till the hen sits on eggs continuously. So unless the eggs were under a broody hen from where you got them probably need to add a week.

Best guess is 7 days old is from date they were laid.
