How do you help a hatching egg?!?

Question

I have these 2 turkey eggs that are supposed to hatch either today, tomorrow or the next day. One of them has a small crack in it and my dad is concerned and wondering if we should help it get to the fresh air. Please help me!!! I need to know!!

Answer 1

I would just leave it alone. That is probably your best bet.

Answer 2

No,don`t help it....it`ll kill it..

Just let it do it on it`s own..

Answer 3

Let it hatch it self. This makes the bird strong. If you help it it will be too weak and die.

Answer 4

Any egg that has a pip(crack in the shell) can take p to 3 days to free themselves from the egg. They could hatch today, tommoroow or the nest day. Be patient. You cant rush things, it could lead to them stressng out and die.

If you help the baby turkey out, you have a good chance of it dieing. It hathcing on its own with make it stronger and able to be more livly and have a higher chance of survival. The baby could also be still absorbing the yolk. If you help it out and you see a yolk sac then it was too early.

You can help it by adding extra humidity to the incubator. Ypou can use sponges or just make sure there is water int he bottom of the incuabtor at all times. This softens the shell up to help them out easyier.

Dont help it outthougk, OK. Wait a couple days.

If it doesnt hacth in a coupe days and dies, it may die later on in a couple days from illness or deformaties. Thats the # one thing is illness and deformaties is why they die and they are too waek.

I helped out one befor who was terri bly weak and it was all fine but it was soo weak it died. Things happen. If you help it and its sick it could make you sick or your other poultry sick.

Good Luck......
