What to Do - Totally forgot what day eggs went into incubator

[PBAnnie]

okay - I went totally brain dead. I forgot to mark the calendar when I put the eggs in the incubator. I've tried to reconstruct my life - best I can come up with is they're somewhere between day 21 and 25 (they're turkey eggs). I can't decide when I should lock them down for hatching. Any recommendations on what to do? Better to lock them down potentially early? Like in 2 days....or leave them rocking and at the same temp a little longer, say 4 days?

Stop turning them and up the humidity when they show signs of hatching. I've had eggs pipping when I locked down and they hatched out fine, so the humidity is not essential beforehand. The turning is only essential during the early stages, but the last few days not so much. Good luck with your hatch!

Thank you - that's what I'll have to do. I've been sitting staring at the calendar trying to come up with anything that gives me a clue - but still nohting...
