Post picture of your turkeys!

How have your temps and humidity been? I had a turkey hatch on day 30, but I had a power outage and low temps for a day. Anything that maybe delayed yours?

The temps have been pretty stable, though they were running low for a few days before lock down, (97.5-98%). And the humidity has been a little high, 50-60%.

Lower temps can easily cause a delay. And I think I had my humidity higher than that, more like 70+, so some still might hatch. Any pips yet? If not you might grab one out and candle?

Today is day 29 and sadly no activity with my turkey eggs. I would have expected at least one to have pipped. Not sure what went wrong. My turkey hen is broody though, and I think I'll let her hatch some eggs. They are a father daughter cross, so not ideal.

So did you ever get any?

No, none of them ended up hatching. All 8 showed development, I think they died end of week 3 or some time in week 4. I'm not sure what went wrong, I only got a 50% hatch with the chicken eggs too. Hopefully my hen will have better success, she is currently broody and sitting on 10 eggs.
