Incubating Turkey Eggs Video

Our Heritage, Black Spanish turkey hens have been laying for the past couple weeks. Last year the hens and the Tom took turns sitting on a clutch, but the eggs never hatched. This year, I thought I would try for a backup plan with the incubators. Here's a video showing how we set up our incubators to hatch turkey eggs. I'm excited to candle in a few days to see if they are fertile. I'll keep you posted!

I had a pair of Standard Bronze a couple of years ago. The hen tried incubating clutch after clutch from May-September with no luck. There would be developing chicks but they all died at some point. Using an incubator is the best way.
