I incubate Turkey eggs. But they keep dying the day they are supposed to hatch. Why?

Question

I know this sounds weird, bu ti incubate Turkey eggs for some farmers. They are White Turkeys. It takes them 28 days to hatch. I turn the eggs 2-3 times a day like i am suposed to. But i dont turn them the last 3 days of incubation that way they can turn in the right position. And i candle them everyday to check for movement. All is fine, but on the day they are supposed to hatch, they never make it out of the egg. Why? They seem to die in the process of hatching. Am i doing something wrong?

Answer 2

to placed it purely (i won't be able to trust such a good number of people, even those who personal poultry, do not recognize this!) Hens will lay an egg daily from spring and they'll typically go away the eggs interior an similar nest, the embryos contained in the eggs are preserved from laying until eventually the egg is warmed, even as the egg is warmed the poultry starts to augment. eggs are warmed even as the chicken has sufficient eggs the chicken will flow out of laying and grow to be "broody" then she will be able to sit down down on the eggs and incubate them, so that they'll hatch 21 days later. people have bred some chickens which will flow broody a lot less many times and could hence produce extra eggs, extremely if the egg is bumped off daily.
