DO turkey eggs require higher humidity?

Ok thanks, because this one is just 5 days old

yes I have some that look like that about that age... and some older ones that grew out of it

I just lost 2 turkey hens. The first for me. I think an owl. Both hens were setting on a nest at the far end of the run which isn't covered.

Turkeys are funny birds, but they are also bullies and thugs. Not to mention if left out too long they are everywhere.

I figured they can only defend during the day... and when they are watching... I thought about letting one sit out in the run but I was worried about that

When those wing feathers come in for some they are a bit too heavy to hold up. It can take a bit for them to develop muscle strength to hold them up like they should.
