Turkey egg incubating question

[Vhope77]

I have turkey eggs in the incubator on day 5 I tried to candle and I see nothing at all no little veins just nothing I’m so worried because with pekin ducks eggs at day 5 I can see veins and the little embryo already and they incubate for the same amount of time , it’s my first time incubating turkey eggs and I spent 100$ on these oones in my incubator I hope I at least get one !! Any advice from a more experienced turkey incubator-er would be greatly appreciated!

I would not worry about not seeing into a turkey egg at day 5. Candling a white duck egg is much easier than candling a turkey egg.

Try candling again on day 14.

Unless I smell an odor coming from the incubator, I personally do not candle until day 25 with turkey eggs.

Just wait a little longer. They are harder to see through than duck eggs.
