since he was a BB the protein was too high.. I've had them die from the same thing when the protein was too high for them.. But Heritage turkeys do better on the higher protein feed... just gotta watch those broad breasted guys.. they will start out limping then keel over on you very quickly

Hello all. Bad couple of days here and I'm feeling pretty defeated. Yesterday morning DH discovered that Stuffing, our 8 week old BB white had died. Not sure what happened. He had a limp the other day and perhaps his injury was more serious than I assumed. Looked like he was just walking along, doing his thing and just dropped dead. I don't know what to think.

Later that day we went out shopping. When we got home that evening I found my incubator reading only 86 degrees. I don't know if the power had gone out or if someone had been messing with it, like my 2 year old. I'm hoping it wasn't for too long but I couldn't find movement in any of my eggs. I will candle tonight after work, but I fear all is lost

Sorry about Stuffing! Poor baby. I think that your eggs are just fine. My Brinsea automatically cools for an hour a day to room temp. It's actually good for the embryos. In the instruction manual it says something about increasing oxygen levels to the fetus and increasing hatch rate and chick heartiness. It also simulates mama hen taking her daily constitutional. I'd say you're good!
