HELP! TURKEY EGG FOAMING AROUND PIP!

We got a hydrometer. It is a super well functioning one, but it took me at least a week or 2 to get the humidity to be not too high or not too low. I have begun to lose track of all the turkeys that have died from this horrible liquid. Only the ones that didn't have the liquid survived, with the exception of 1. I just lost 2 more and it is killing me mentally because I feel it is somehow my fault. The humidity is fin in the primary incubator. Is it possible for humidity to be too high during lockdown? I have lost a little under half of my eggs.

I'm still not sure what's going on with the foam maybe the humidity is still too high?

I'm not finding a lot of info out there, the only thing I can find about foam coming out of eggs when they start to hatch is humidity is too high.

Are you able to assist and they still die? Are they sticky/wet when you help them?
Navel closed or open?

I don't hatch a lot, so I'm not very good at troubleshooting at all. Maybe @Pyxis has seen this before?

I'm sorry I can't be of more help and so very sorry you're losing them:hugs
 
They died after we help them too. I just discovered this morning the last 2 eggs of this hatch that haven't pipped yet, I made a safety hole a yellow liquid came pouring out of the air sack. I am afraid they may have already drowned. My mother suggested dry incubation from now on.

I'm sorry to hear that.
It does sound like they may be drowning in the egg.
Dry incubation may be the way to go. Read up on it, so you are clear about how to do it.
