Mission Impossible: Turkey Eggs

[Cyprus]

WOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!
Candle them NOW!

I just candled them. No cracks or damage that I can see. They are both clear, one has more of a visible and orange yolk.

Let them warm up to room temp then stick them in the bator!

@R2elk Do you incubate turkey eggs?

Does this answer your question?

We are wondering how soon one could see something developing inside of a turkey egg.

Sorry I cannot remember who, but there was a poster in the Turkeys forum that started a project of pics of candling turkey eggs daily. I don't remember the project getting concluded and obviously I am not using the right words in my search for the thread because I have not found it. However I did find this thread that shows images of turkey egg development starting at 0 hours and showing development at 76 hours. A really good light is necessary to achieve this quality of candling on turkey eggs.

I personally do not candle until I am moving eggs to lockdown.

Anybody know how I can calibrate this?

I can never tell anything at day two, but the outside of the egg looks great.

Raising turkeys is another bucket list item for me.
