I have some Bronze Turkey eggs and don't know when I can tell if they are any good. I candled a couple of days ago and they all looked clear. But I only have a flash light. They are on day 11. I put them in the bator at 11:30 am.

If I have all infertile eggs I don't want to wait until the middle of the month for nothing to hatch.
 
Surely somebody can tell me when I should see something. I have to switch from propping up my bator for turning tomorrow becaue I have a batch to hatch in 3 days so I will candle again then. Hopefully I will see something besides light.
 
I'm not really sure but you can try posting this question in the turkey section of the board. You may get more replies.
 
Turkey eggs are no different than Chicken eggs except for total incubation time. I candle on day 10 and can tell very well what's going on. Invest in a good light with High lumens and you can see pretty clearly. I have 7 Turkey eggs going now that are on day 12. All looking good. Plenty of veins and such.
