Incubating wild Turkey egg

[Squishychicken]

So I've been given a wild Turkey egg....I'm gonna try to incubate it. I've never dealt with turkeys or incubating them. So I need how to incubate them temps, humidity and then is there anything special they need when they hatch? I feed all flock so feed isn't a problem.

I'm gonna read up on as much stiff as I can find but so far I've seen.

28 days at 99.5 for temp 55% humidity (dunno how much to raise for lockdown? And turn like you would chicken eggs.

My husband brought home EIGHT when one of his friends ran over their nesting area. We’ve had them in the incubator at 100 average with 55-60 humidity (my incubator is amazon garbage). This morning they all pipped but one and they’re zipping pretty quick. I’m planning on trying to push them off to a wildlife preserve nearby, I’m terrified they’ll end up with me though. I have no idea what the flip I’m going to do with seven wild turkeys.

They are actually really fun birds to have. I raised fifteen Eastern Wild Turkey poults years ago.
