One Trick to Greatly Improve Turkey Egg Hatch Rates

How is it that I have a 95% hatch success rate and don't even observe incubator lockdown rules? Turns out there's one main reason that chicks and poults die just before hatching, and one simple trick to avoid it!

Yep I do that with all my eggs. I just hatched my first batch of turkey eggs 10 of 11 hatched.

Now wait, this goes against literally everything Ive ever learned about hatching. How do they not shrink wrap?

Man I a so confused to

[@marninacollins6449]

I have the same question

[@Emg2463]

but won't they get shrink wrapped when you take the egg out of the incubator before they hatch ?

[@Takeda4Him]

I have not experienced any of my turkeys getting shrink wrapped by helping the bird get out of the egg. I have experienced them suffocating because they can't breathe or get out I do not believe in lockdown

[@ahughes0316]

Shrink wrap ever happen?

[@Takeda4Him]

I have found everything you have said in this video to be 100% correct
