I agree on the first part... But I love the name Carl's dinner!
I am going to hope r2elk says you're wrong on the second........stubborn hens!
If the hens have established nests and have free access to come and go to them they may very well continue to use the nests. Whether or not they go broody again is an individual thing for each hen.
Most of the time my adult turkeys get the same 16% layer pellets that I feed the chickens. When I turn younger turkeys in with them they get the same 20% layer pellets that the guineas get.
Their pen is so big that even inside the pen it is like they are free ranging with all the bugs and greenery at their disposal.

If you think those chickens are noisy you should spend some quality time with a flock of guineas. I am not talking about their alerts and their buckwheating. Guineas are constantly talking. They never shut up. Much of it is very low pitched and quite pleasant to listen to including their "cooing".
