HELP!!!
I have 3 turkeys sitting on eggs..... they are all in the same pen. I have left them alone, other than feeding and watering them. When I went in the pen yesterday to check on things, THE STINCH WAS UNBEARABLE!!!! I feel so sorry for them laying there in the smell...... it's really BAD and it smells like rotten eggs. I figure they've cracked some eggs, which have rotted underneath them. But..... they won't move off of the eggs for me to check... I can force them to move so I can check, but they should be very close to hatching (within a few days) and I don't know how they'll react to being forced off of the nest.
What should I do? Make them move or let them be for a few more days?
Thanks!
Jeff
