My hatch is over. 54 put of 70 eggs. Just a tad bit over 77% hatch rate/ fertile eggs. Over all was almost 73%. Only four eggs set weren't fertile.

I'll post pictures tomorrow when I pull them out.

@Chaos18 I set two FBPP @ 7:20, I expect them to hatch around 7:35. The temperature is at 400° I'm not checking humidity.

How did your hatch go?

Broody hen on day 16

Turkey eggs on day 7, will candle on day 10 

Thanks for the update.

They hatched early. A little dry. I will be sure to add more humidity next time. It was a perfect hatch otherwise. I forgot to take pictures, I'm sorry. I waited five minutes before eating them. I wanted to wait 10, until they were really ready, but they just looked so tempting!
