incubator set-up

[Mother of All]

day and not the should the incubator temp and humidity for hatching turkeys be the same for chickens? I know is will be days but is there any other differences I should know about?

yes, set the turkey eggs 7 days before the the chicken eggs. turkeys take 28 days and chickens 21 days that way they will all hatch at the same time. plus the chicks will teach the turkeys pults to eat and drink. turkey pults are dum at first. mom teaches them to eat and drink as will the chicks.

Incubation temperature and humidity levels are exactly the same for turkeys and chickens -- 99.6 for forced air, 45% average RH for the incubation period, 65% to 70% for lockdown/hatching. I think the temp for still air is like 101, but I don't know for sure, never had one.
