:jumpy Our first time hatching out turkeys naturally( ever, really) began this morning 😁😁 Mama has been sitting on 14 eggs. So far we have 3 liitle ones(that I’m positive about,). I am wondering when I should check the nest for unhatched eggs?? 2 days? I know i should allow at least 24 hours for hatch time. So that’s tomorrow morning. Can i wait until Sunday to remove any unhatched eggs?
The temps here are pretty warm right now, 85-90, will Mama show the babies where to get water?

Thank you! She came of the nest this afternoon followed by 5 little ones. :love 5 out of 14 eggs... almost 50%... I’m thinking not too bad for a first time hatch ?? And we have 6 eggs in the incubator from our other hen due to hatch August 12
