I have some BR's that are suppose to hatch tomorrow so we will see.
 
This big guy showed up this morning. Anybody know if he's Eastern or Rio? I'm just curious and I can't tell from looking at pictures.

Ok, so I think I have convinced myself to hatch in the egg carton, I am having problems finding some good information on how to do it and I also have chicken eggs in there too, alittle worried about the height of the turkey eggs versus the chicken eggs..

It makes total sense to me as to why they didn't hatch as last year when I hand turned I had great success in both chicken and turkey. My sister goes into lockdown on Tuesday also with her chicken eggs and I want to be able to point her to a great information thread on upright hatching as her hatch rate after lockdown has only been 50% or so.

Oh and I showed DH the Hatcher you built and he just shook his head and walked away..

I hatched both chickens and turkeys upright in egg cartons all last year. Hatch rates were excellent. Doing a comparison right now with goose eggs. incubating half laid down and half upright.
