An automatic incubator is the simplest system for hatching turkey eggs and should produce the maximum yield. Remember that everything has to be clean. The eggs need to be thoroughly cleaned and the incubator also needs to have been cleaned with disinfectant.
The temperature inside an incubator is exactly right for growing detrimental bacteria and micro-organisms, hence the need to sanitize the eggs and incubator.
Place the incubator in a room with an even temperature and aim for an internal temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit), and a humidity level of 55%, for the majority of the incubation period.
After 25 days, the eggs will start to hatch. To start with, there will be just a faint pip noise. This is the time to adjust the temperature to 37 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit) and up the humidity to 75%. By Day 28, the turkeys should have broken free from their shells and will dry out into little puffballs.
When breeding turkeys, you should not count your turkeys before they are hatched. On average, you can expect less than half the eggs to hatch, and of the poults, only about 30% can be expected to live to 2 weeks old.
