The temp has been stable at 99-100 (this is about half an inch lower that the top of the eggs), with the humidity steady at 75%. I am a little worried the temp is too low and the humidity a little high. These are turkey eggs. What do you think.
 
Went into lockdown Sunday night and Monday night had a turkey hatch, and another is peeping. That's two days early, the one that has hatched seems ok (still in bator, will remove today). Temp still around 99 and humidity at 75%. I think next time I will lower the humidity to around 65% for hatch, just afraid to touch anything at this point.
 
I would leave the humidity. They are coming!!! Don't change a thing and just wait. Congratulations!!!!
 
So, far only had 2 out of 9 turkey eggs hatch(one of those died), and 4 out of 10 chicken eggs. There are at least 2 more chicken eggs peeping. But am worried about the turkey eggs. The turkeys that hatched were wild eastern, and ones that are left are all bourban. Beginning to worry if they were fertile. Think the chicken eggs will hatch out alright today. Last night was the 28th for the turkeys and the 21st for the chickens. Now have at least 40 guineas eggs needing to go in the bator, and will borrow another bator for more turkey eggs.
