50 -55 % during the first part then 60-65% during lockdown. This is the table I have used.

That will most likely cause the air cell to fail to grow to the size it needs to become. If I incubated at 50% humidity, my turkey eggs would not hatch.

Turkey poult flip over syndrome

I do not have any trouble hatching turkey eggs. I do not get poults with FOS. I have about a 99% survival rate from poults that I and my turkeys hatch.

what kind of turkeys do you have? I raised bbb 2 years ago and standard last year. Currently I have eggs from both in my incubator. They are due to hatch next week and look pretty active when candles. The only turkeys that we have hatched so far were wild turkeys that we found in October, and were only about a week along. We ended up setting 4 of them free, I think several died Shortly after hatching.

R2Elk, Wyoming is naturally dryer. I don’t know if that makes a difference. It is totally different environment here in Missouri. I used to live just east of the dunes.

It doesn't matter what the ambient humidity is anywhere. If you don't get the air cell to grow to the proper size, the eggs won't be able to hatch.
