Incubating

[mswendeu]

Im trying to hatch turkey eggs. Two of my seven eggs have been in lockdown since last Saturday for a Tuesday hatch. On Tuesday night I water candled and found one was definitely alive the other I’m not so sure. On Thursday night I set 5 bourbon for lockdown in a different incubator and put the other two eggs back with them. I was wondering if the heat wasn’t high enough I’m not sure this is the case I’m only assuming so. Would the poults have defects? And how much longer can it take for them to hatch? Does anyone know? I definitely will leave them until they all hatch or not as long as they don’t smell. Just wondering.…

Day 31 until later this evening. The temperature was during incubating 99-100, the humidity was 35-40 until now. Now it’s 98.5 to 99 and 60% ish.

The turkeys are overdue for hatching if it's day 31. Turkeys usually take 28 days too hatch.

I did also, let the humidity run out for about a week when I realized the air cells weren’t big enough. So during that period it was running Between 25-30 give or take a little right before lockdown.
