temp drop as turkey poults are pipping!

[ridinglizzard]

I am half way through a hatch... 4 poults hatched yesterday (day 28) evening with many more pipping out. This morning no more had hatched although there were many beaks pipping through and moving. Then sometime during the day the incubator temp fell from 99 to 95 degrees! This evening the beaks are still moving but progress has been very slow. One more poult hatched out this evening, but is there any hope for the ones still in the shells with this huge temperature fluctuation??

Yes, don't get too concerned. Just monitor your incubator and bring the temperature back up to normal. It is more dangerous if it goes too high than too low. Good luck!

4 chicks died in the night in their eggs... they had made some progress unzipping, but obviously couldn't get out. I broke away some shell on 2 others this morning but they still aren't out. Their membranes are really dry. This is so sad
