Turkeys

Anyone here hatch turkeys with an incubator? Have you come across an incubator that’s aimed toward the larger eggs?

One that will accommodate duck eggs should work.

Thomas, I’ve used this one with success with ducks, chickens and turkeys:

Thanks, guys. I’m leaning toward building my own incubator housing with heat and humidity control and buying an automatic egg turner. Probably looking to do roughly 60 turkey eggs or more next season. Got to do my setup differently next year, just wasn’t prepared this year. Need to separate the gobbler from the hens when they are sitting. Raised plenty of chickens in my time but not too much experience with turkeys. Typically when getting an incubator, have to keep in mind that capacity for turkey eggs is roughly half of what it is for chickens.
