I have several turkey incubating questions. (It's urgent)

[DucksAreBest]

I'm hatching turkey eggs and I have questions.

1. What is that black dot inside the egg? ( I'm assuming it's a bruise)

2. I bought this egg from a person who told me they were fresh. When I came there and he gave me the egg, it felt hot. Well, I thought it was only a day in the incubator, because he said it was fresh. I came home, candled it, and to my surprise it was almost fully developed! I decide to keep on incubating. This egg is almost at lockdown but I don't know what to do, because I have 13 duck eggs that are in the same incubator and the duck eggs are only 7 days in incubation. How to put this egg on lockdown if there's 13 eggs that are only seven days in incubation? @R2elk @MGG @Pyxis @azygous.

I'm not totally sure what that is. Maybe there was a little fracture in the shell and some bacteria got in?
Idk. @Pyxis, and ideas?

Thanks. What about the second question? I have no clue what to do.

You can lock them all down together! Just lower the humidity once the turkey hatches, and go back to turning the ducks for a few days. It won't hurt a thing. I've done loads of staggered hatches.

Thank you! So, I can increase the humidity to 65%?

Yes, that's fine!

 

[DucksAreBest]

Yes, that's fine!

Thank you so much! I'll put a piece of cardboard on the egg turner, and then I'll put the egg on the cardboard so it won't turn. When It will start hatching I'll turn off the egg turner.
