Wild Turkey Eggs

[reeder75]

My buddy found some wild turkey eggs while cutting hay. The hen took off and didn't come back. I am trying to incubate them but don't now how old they are. I have candled them, sort of, and they are fertile. Can someone please post a pick of a candled egg ready for the lockdown stage of incubation. I will try to post a pick when I get a better candler. My flashlight, toilet paper roll, and duct tape not the best!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Successful hatch! I hatched 8 of 11 eggs! In an old Brower incubator to boot!! Thanks again!

That is so cool!! Are you going to turn them loose after you raise them? Where are you located?? Good luck!!

Ya once they get old enough I will let them free range and if they stay that's good, if they leave that's good too!!
