How to Hatch Turkey Eggs (Part 1) Incubating Turkey Eggs for the First Time!

The first video of my "Hatching Turkey Eggs" series. This is (Part 1) and we will go over what should I do first and what temperature do I set my incubator. Incubators keep the eggs at a controlled temperature. They also have a trough you fill with water to provide humidity that the young turkeys need to stay healthy. Eggs need to be turned over several times a day to help the turkeys grow. After 28 days, our turkey chicks should be breaking out of the shells! Follow the series as I update you step by step!

Excellent tutorial, I find it is very important to keep a notebook to record all of the things you have done during an incubation, this can be very useful to look back on in the event of either a failure to hatch, or a record percentage hatch, it is a very handy reference the next time you attempt it, stay safe!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Shellie, how exciting! Is this your first time hatching turkey eggs? I'll enjoy watching the progress of hatching those eggs. Emily is such a sweet helper! I got a kick out of the comment about not letting Mike name the turkeys ...but, that sounded about right! LOL ~Margie

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching Margie. Yes this is the first time! The girls and I are going to learn a lot through this process.

[@allykincaid3362]

Nice video,mom. I cant wait to see them hatch. Also question : what are baby turkeys called?? I know chickens are called chicks.

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching Ally! I also can't wait to see them hatch. Baby turkeys are called poults.

[@nickhaley1212]

It's crazy how they say not to open the incubator often and this and that yet when a hen is laying on eggs she goes hours every day without sitting on them while she feeds and her eggs still hatch and she can't control the humidity.

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching! That is very true.

[@camicri4263]

Exciting! Good information, thank you Shelley! (Am I spelling your name correctly? ) Have a great week! Hugs to you all💜

[@farmmom7140]

Not yet!!! Working on it!

[@rbebut1]

How do you know how many males and females do you have? Are you keeping them for bigger breakfast eggs? Are you going to bread more?

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching Ralph! I don't know yet if I have Toms or Hens. We we're just thinking of keeping a couple depending how many hatch to just have around the farm. Also for the kiddos to experience turkeys and how to care for them.

[@jeffward9487]

Where did you get your turkey eggs and do they ship and sail

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching Jeff. I found a local turkey breeder that had fertile eggs for sale. I'm not sure if she ships eggs or not.

[@frankliniheanacho7803]

good video ma, iam from AFRICA, NIGERIA to be precise. i have a local turkey laying eggs, she has four eggs already without any tom around her, and i intends to hatch the eggs how can i go about it using local made incubator ?

[@nivekplays9676]

unfortunately they will not hatch because they are not fertilized eggs

[@d0nn13m0n0]

My royal palm hen was the noisiest bird I’ve ever had.

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching!

[@raptureready0777]

Are turkey eggs fertile already once they are laid?

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching Jordan! The eggs are only fertile if you have a Tom turkey as well. You still would want to candle some to make sure your Tom is good to go. Some breeds of turkeys can't reproduce without synthetic insemination. Good luck.

[@raptureready0777]

@@farmmom7140 had a domestic turkey show up at the house. She has 8 eggs still sitting on them. It’s been close to 28 days I haven’t seen a Tom (wild) in about a year around the house.

[@farmmom7140]

Any eggs hatching yet? Your Hen can still lay eggs even if there's no Tom around. They definitely won't be fertile though.

[@raptureready0777]

@@farmmom7140 yes! 2. 3 didn’t make , have 3 to go but it’s been a few days since others have have hatched makes me wonder if these other are not gonna make it. The momma is still sitting.

[@martingingerich8830]

Emily is grabbing her 15 minutes of fame.too cute 😆

[@mikedan297]

Don't turkey females cover their eggs, do they? Or because they are not wild birds.

[@farmmom7140]

Thanks for watching Dan. Domestic turkeys normally have a roosting area with nest boxes and will lay in them. If they we're free range, yes it would be hard to figure out where they're laying their eggs.
