    My hen who is currently broody was happy to take about 18 eggs. They didn't all fit under her, since she is rather small, so I took some out until they fit. I took some extra out too, so that I didn't have more poults than I wanted.

    They can sit on 6-20 eggs. Broad Breasted turkeys might crush the eggs, and probably won't go broody. My hens seem to have at least a 60% hatch rate.

    My hens seem to lay about 5-6 a week for about 8-10 weeks. About 45-60 eggs per hen.

    They look like Bourban Red turkeys to me. The tom looks like he is just missing some tail feathers, and the hen I just don't see any white on her.

    Mine usually roost in trees too. I would recommend trying to get them to roost somewhere else.
