When we got our turkeys, one (Henny) started laying eggs right away but in bad spots. Out in the open where the sheep stepped on them, under bushes that couldn't be protected, in the middle of the cat's walkway and my wonderful cat thought the turkey laying there was a gift for her so she jumped on the turkey... as we found the eggs we would put them in the turkey coop in a spot that I thought she might like as her nesting spot. She didn't like any of my choices. In the mean time our other hen (Penny) found a spot in the coop she wanted to lay her eggs (good girl), she laid 12, then started being broody. Every once in a while I will notice the first hen sitting with the second hen then she leaves the nest. The other day our good hen got up to eat and there were 18 eggs in her nest! So it seems Henny is wanting Penny to do the work for her?
When the eggs hatch what will happen to the eggs that Penny laid after Henny started sitting on the eggs?
What should I do with the 11 eggs that I have in in the coop?
Do I need to be buying an incubator?
