Turkeys are so hard to hatch, IMO. I went through 5 different settings of eggs before I finally got any to hatch. Every single time they made it to the last day then died. four of the 6 settings never even piped. The second to the last batch I got three out of 5 to hatch. Two of those didnt make if past a few days. The other one is doing well and is 5 weeks old now. The sixth setting didnt make it out either. Im over hatching turkeys now. Too much stress and disappointment.
