Question About New Poults?

[hambone84]

I ahve 18 eggs in the bator, and now on day 27 I have 4 baby turkeys out...Some of the rest of the eggs were pipped and are pipped but the poults are kicking and smashing and bumping the eggs all around...And some of the pips are upside down...Would it be ok this evening to quickly remove the dry chicks and turn the eggs where the pip is at the top?

I'd leave well enough alone till tomorrow evening. The position of the eggs won't matter to the poults that are still hatching, and you will lose your humidity if you open now. I know---it's hard to wait, but waiting is the safest course. Good luck!

hey i am a newbie but from what everyone says its good to have chicks bumping the eggs it helps the others to hatch.

Thanks alot! I was hoping it didnt matter that the position was wrong and they will still hatch!!!! I feel like a ton better now...If its true they help others to hatch im sure the 4 of them have ran over each egg in the bator three times eachLOL!! Thanks again
