We incubate at 101 degrees and turkey eggs hatch in 28 to 30 days depending on the humidity in incubator. don't clean them at all unless they have egg yolk on them. You can wipe them off with a dry towel if this makes you feel better. Dampen towel with a little water if they have yolk on them, since the yolk will stop up the pores.Good luck.

Turkey eggs take 28 days to hatch...incubate at 98 degrees and just wipe the egg with a dry towel, don't scrub it takes off a protective coating on the shell.

Eggs will need to be turned a 1/2 turn twice a day. This can be accomplished by placing an "X" on one side and an "O" on the other side, this will mark which eggs have been turned at each time of day.

Example: If all X's are showing then turn so that all O's are showing. 12 hours later rotate to all O's
