Can My Bantam Cochin's And Silkies Hatch Out Turkey Eggs

I Have A Turkey Who Is Laying Eggs And Mates With A Tom Can My Broody Bantam Cochins And Silkies Hatch Them
Your chickens are capable of hatching turkey eggs. The size of the chicken will determine how many she can handle. I doubt a bantam or any bantam sized chicken can handle more than two eggs.

If you allow your chickens to hatch turkey eggs, I recommend removing the poults as soon as they are dry after hatcing. Allowing chickens to raise turkey poults can lead to problems once the turkeys mature.

Imprinting the poults with a chicken removes the poult's ability to understand that there is a difference between them and chickens once they are adults. The huge size difference between chickens and turkeys can lead to bad things happening to the chickens,
