Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I think he outgrew his shell.  I've had turkeys do that too, when the temp was a touch low or the humidity a touch high.

You can candle the egg to see if you can see yolk near the bottom.  I could in mine.  He's not far from ready to hatch regardless of calendar.  

I'd put him back in, humidity around 65%, egg upright just like it is so he doesn't choke if he hits a bleeder again, and darken the room.  He'll absorb relatively quickly.  

I did notice today when I candled the eggs that there was a yellow tint around the air cell, haven't noticed that before and trust me I would have seen that before no so I am curious if this is something I should be concerned about?

When I've seen that, it has been caused by:

small blood seep
too high humidity during incubation = jelly in egg/sticky baby
too low humidity during hatch = dry membrane turns parchment color

I forgot I had four turkey eggs due to hatch Sunday. They already externally pipped, so I took them out of the turner and put them in the hatcher.

First run for my new Omaha Steak still air hatcher.

Oh shucks!!! I just realized I'm a day late on lockdown! I've got a black AM already externally pipped!

LOL it's sad, isn't it, when we look forward to hatching and forget about it!

I didn't forget this time, I just had a major brain malfunction. I'm thinking why is this chick pippin so early, then it dawns on me !
