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.
 
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.
