Fertile Turkey Eggs for Sale Highlights

  • Fertile Turkey Egg Incubation: Turkey eggs require a consistent incubation temperature of 99.5°F (37.5°C) and humidity levels between 40-50% for the first 25 days, increasing to 65% for the final days before hatching. Proper turning of the eggs is also crucial for successful development.
  • Hatchability Rates: Hatchability rates for turkey eggs can vary significantly based on fertility, proper storage, incubation conditions, and breed. Generally, a good hatch rate is considered to be between 70-80% under optimal circumstances.
  • Turkey Breed Characteristics: Different turkey breeds have varying characteristics regarding egg production, size, and temperament. Some breeds are known for laying more eggs, while others are favored for meat production or ornamental purposes.
  • Egg Storage for Hatching: Fertile turkey eggs should be stored in a cool environment (around 50-55°F or 10-13°C) with the large end slightly elevated. They should be turned daily if stored for more than a week, and ideally, incubated within 7-10 days of being laid for best results.
  • Brooding Newly Hatched Poults: Newly hatched turkey poults require a brooder with a consistent temperature of around 95°F (35°C) for the first week, gradually decreasing by 5°F each week. They need access to chick starter feed and fresh water immediately.
