not ready to sit

Give her time Turkey Lover. Her mother instincts will kick in, and then you'll wonder why you were so worried. It can be nail-biting, watching her egg collection grow and wonder how she can be so neglectful and selfish leaving them and thinking of only herself. Turkey hens are really good mothers, usually. When the time is right, and trust me, she knows more than you do, The 'light' will come on and she will be sitting away. Its just the waiting game right now. Make sure her nest is safe and comfortable with little drama surrounding or disturbance.
 
If I have turkey eggs that have been in the fridge, could I still put them back in the nest after say, a week? I won't be collecting anymore, just wondering how long is too long. :)

Havnt had the time to get back on here. We took the 12 eggs out and put them in the incubator. Since then she has laid 10 more and we are leaving them in therefor her. Our question is that for 3 days she is sitting all day, but goes to roost at night is that ok for the eggs?
