I was trying to make sure that my female turkey will be able to brood. And in addition, please can I force a mature brood hen or brood turkey or female turkey to incubate and hatch turkey eggs?
 
I asked these question I was asked to buy female turkey, hen to hatch a turkey which I doubt and I was thinking also if it can be possible!!!
 
I don't think you can really force them to brrod unless they're in a cage as small as they are so they physically can't leave the nest and that's rather unfair to the bird
 
Broodiness is a "hormonal" issue. You can't force anything to be broody. If you want birds that will set on eggs, buy and raise birds that go broody often. Like Cochins, Silkies, etc.
