Questions about incubating chickens (and turkeys)

[PD-Riverman]

Chicken eggs are about 9 days old and turkey are about 7

What I am saying is when you lock down the chicken eggs on day 18---stop turning them, raise the humidity---you mentioned keeping the incubator closed for the last 3 days----if you do that---How will you continue turning the turkey eggs those 3 or 4 days, then your incubator will need to be cleaned good because of the chicken eggs hatching----but you got turkey eggs in it----I am just asking if you got it figured out and what your plan is??

I can set so that the turkey eggs are still turning bur not the chicken, IM believing that the turkey eggs are infertile though becouse no veins is visible when candling

nothing visible in the turkey eggs right now, so im gonna wait a week then candle them again, and if nothing then their probably not fertile, since i got the turkeys very recently

UPDATE: I've candled the eggs, 2/3 turkey eggs are unfertile, one is though. 8/9 Chicken eggs are fertile 1/9 Chicken egg Has a blood ring

If you get a poult to hatch, the chicks will be it's tutors and teach it to eat and drink.

Forgot to update this.. 5 chickens out of the egg, sadly 4 roosters and only 1 hen and we already have 3 roosters for 15 hens so we slaughtered the 4 roosters and made some delicious chicken nuggets out of them, it's amazing to look at how thin normal chickens are compared to store chickens! same with turkeys!

The turkey hatched and since it was alone i put it with the chickens until my friend hatched some turkeys so i gave him mine and now it's a big grown up tom!
