I need the help of the local enablers! UMMM. LOL
What are the incubation differences for Turkey eggs? I cannot believe I'm asking this... So? And thanks for being here. Chere

I would like to know this too as I have some White Belted turkey eggs coming.

This is from the http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/hatch.htm#cond site. It says for Turkey 28-incubation/ 99-temp./ 84-86-humidity/ 25th day-stop turning/ 90humidity last 3 days/ 25th day-open vents more
Idk if this is right, I haven't hatched turkeys. But maybe this will help.

No problem, I did a lot of researching on the internet before I found BYC. That was one of my favorites!

Wow that humidity is way to HIGH. Are you sure or is that a wet temp. reading. Temp. and days to hatch are right.

 

[shelleyd2008]

oops...you're right, it is wet bulb temp.

We use the same settings as for chicken eggs in a GQF Sportsman. As already said stop turning on day 25 hatch about day 28-ish
