I have a turkey hen that went broody this past week. I have an opportunity to buy some fertile turkey eggs to put under her, as I do not have a Tom. How likely is she to sit on them and hatch them?
 
if she is broody she will take them, any broody bird will take any eggs as long as she can fit them under her, and won't accidentally break them(if she is a heavy breed and you were to say, give her bantam chicken eggs they could get broke) but turkey eggs under a broody turkey will work

Thanks, I don't want to spend $30 on eggs just to have her walk away from them. I do have a broody chicken, so, I guess if she does I can just pop them under the chicken.
