Incubating turkey eggs - Help needed

[TarHeelBlue]

I have just put 15 turkey eggs into my incubator, but can't really find any information on time, temp, humidity etc. Any and all advice is welcome. (like humidity , when to put in lockdown, ........)

I think it's the same as chicken eggs, just 28 days instead of 21

I'm a turkey Newbee too.
I have a dozen Bronzes in right now.
Humidity and Temps are the same as chickens, sometimes there is a suggestion to turn the temp up a degree. 28 days to hatch.

I am running my usual temp in a Brinsea 20. So I can add a few hen eggs in a week.

I go into lockdown on Feb 19th? Want to check back and see how they go?

That Would Be Great, My Eggs Were Put In On Sunday 01/23/11.

Hi folks, where did you all get your eggs?

Gonna watch this thread. Been thinking of hatching out some poults this year. Please keep us posted! I would really appreciate it!

We Have A "small Animal Auction" Not Far From My Home Where They Sell Chickens, Turkeys, Etc Etc. They Usually Have Fertile Eggs To Sell/auction. You Can Also Find People On E-bay And/or Craig's List That Sell Them. I Got Some Black Copper Maran Eggs On Ebay.

steve_of_sandspoultry has turkey eggs. He has a website that shows their birds. I have been thinking of contacting them for eggs myself.

Except that it takes 28 days instead of the 21 chickens require I treat them exactly the same so far as temperature, humidity, and turning goes.

I picked mine up from a local farmer in Placerville, CA. He raises Heritage Bronze birds but doesn't ship.
If you are interested, message me and maybe I can ship the eggs for him?
