Help! Humidity isnt going up for Turkey eggs

[RoseTurkey27786]

Hello, I had 14 wild Turkey eggs they were abandoned by their mother no clue when they were born 10 of the eggs weren't good though so I'm left with 4. 1 of the Turkeys started to peep 2 days ago nothing has happened yet. I'm new to the hatching process. I'm scared that the Turkey might be to weak to hatch since I've been struggling to get the humidity up it's been in the 50's I got it up to 60 today. I've been incubating them for 3 weeks now so I suspect they were at least 4 days old when I rescued them. I havent heard my Turkey peep today I read that they rest for long periods of time. I'm scared though I have fallen in love with it since I heard its first peep. How long does the hatching process take? How can I get my humidity up? (I have a little giants still air incubator) Any tips?

To increase humidity, you need to add more surface area of water. So you could do this by adding wet sponges or wet paper towels, etc. Just make sure they aren't touching the eggs.

Awesome!

Have they externally pipped yet, or are you just hearing the eggs peeping? If you're hearing them peeping, they have probably internally pipped, and it can take 24 hours from then until they externally pip, and then another 24 hours from that point until they start to actually zip and hatch

Nope no pipping yet. I just candle the other 3 eggs and 2 look clumpy inside and the other has a big air pocket... the 4th egg the peeping one hasn't peeped all day today could it be resting/asleep? I played some other poult noises to maybe encourage them. I hope my incubator isnt messed up...

When you candle do you see anything that looks like a triangular shadow in the air cells?

With the 2 that look clumpy I'm suspecting they didnt make it but I'll look again no there is no triangle shape I'd suspect after at least 25 days I'd see something more. These sorts stick to 1 side of the egg the egg also feels less dense if that makes sense theres also a clumpy patch on one side.

Is it possible to hear a heartbeat? In the 3rd one I havent heard peeping yet but I can hear a heart beat at least I think that's what it is
