Chickens with some slight variations are typically 21 days to hatch. Turkeys with some slight variations are typically 28 days to hatch. My turkey eggs normally hatch on day 27 if i incubate them. If my turkeys hatch them they are typically day 28.

Variations can happen due to a number of changing conditions but mostly due to temperature fluctuations in the incubator.

My long shot has probably failed. First time laying royal palms dropped eggs in an outdoor run in a Wyoming February. We don't even know if the young Toms figured out how to do their jobs. Tuesday was lock down; pipping should have started on Thursday, but here I am sad, on Saturday with nothing. Despite knowing it was a long shot, I am taking this personally.

I'm sorry... next time candle the eggs on day 10 to make sure they are developing so you don't get so emotionally attached to their success. (Today is day 28 right?)

Don't take it personally. It is not uncommon for the first eggs to not be fertile. If they weren't fertile, nothing you did had any effect on the outcome.

One thing that can cause infertility is too many toms in with too few hens. It is also a good way to end up with injured hens. The toms will prevent each other from completing the breeding act by knocking each other off the back of the participating hen.
