Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Two of my girls decided to go broody a few weeks ago. I do not need any more chickens or chicks, so I gave them 5 bronze turkey eggs from the incubator. I had humidity problems and lost all that were in the incubator, but the girls hatched all 5 of theirs. I'm going to let them raise them as well. My 2 girls shared the broody nest and are now sharing the mothering duties.
