Hey guys, I have a question..I have 2 hen turkeys and a tom. One of my hens is laying fertile eggs daily for the past 6 days and the other hen is not. However the one that is NOT laying eggs is super broody and wont leave the nest box for more than a minute a couple times a day. So i have been putting the fertile turkeys eggs under her in hopes of them hatching. I know i should have probably collected a weeks worth or so and then put them under her at the same time so i get the same hatch date but i didnt. You think i'll have a descent hatch? (I was planning on taking the chicks from her as they hatch and putting them in my brooder) Also i havent seen her turning the eggs much, is this normal?
