I received some wild turkey eggs from a farmer friend of mine. I know NOTHING about incubating and hatching eggs. Just got chicken chicks June 1st. I've had one egg crack and rot (!) one explode (oy!) and threw 2 away that quit developing. That leaves me with 8 that seem to be ready to hatch!
Lots of movement from about 6 of them. 2 are minimal. I think I can hear peeping in there. I have a HovaBator, I think, from a friend. One that hadn't moved alot just made its first external pip about 2 hours ago. It's a tiny little puncture in the egg shell. The problem I think, is that it's at the wrong end (narrow) I've added water to take the humidity up to 65% and put them in lockdown. Just not sure what comes next and what the timing should be.
I've googled myself to death with this adventure
and now I've joined up here for some live advice! I know that turkeys are tricky to hatch anyway and I'd truly like to keep the 8 that are left! I'll take your advice and anecdotes
