craigyboy 1,274 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 i have a digital incubator with some turkey eggs in,and ive just looked at em and 1 of the eggs as pipped,the trouble is theres 5 days left and the incubator turns them every hour until theres 3 days left,so should i turn the egg sideways so it doesnt turn or should i just leave it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patterdalejoel 669 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 i have had this, hatching too soon, and the humidity is increased by the dampness of the chick hatching and it seems to f**k everything up, so id take it out as soon as it pops out, as a sacrifice for the rest of the eggs, or even take the pipping egg out now just my experience and thoughts 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
