Thanks for everyones input! I think I'll wait until nighttime, then put the eggs under her and sneak out the other 2. I'll have to remind myself to take a pencil to mark the 2 I'm taking out!! I'll keep you posted..........
This is her first time to be broody, and neither of the eggs under her are hers!!! I planned on taking the 2 and putting them in the bator or under my JG hen who has that 'glaze' in her eye.......
Yikes, your scaring me with the chick murder stories......I think I may be camping out in the coop...
Well, I'm afraid to take chicks to her, because I tried it the other day and she freaked out completely. I just held a day old chick beside her head and she bristled up and was about to strike at it with her beak.
I thought she might react indifferent with eggs.....since they would have to...
OK, I'll try to keep this short...I have 12 turkeys eggs due to hatch this Thursday. I'll stop turning them tomorrow, but before I do, I had a thought...............What if I put them under my Huge broad-breasted turkey hen, who has been sitting for 2 weeks, and let her hatch them out?
I mean...
