Chicken hatching turkey egg

[Akwasi]

Hi guys. I love nature to take its course. However I realized that my turkeys are not such great incubators.

I decided to try my chicken. I give one chicken three eggs as an experiment and am expecting the poults this Friday. Candling has been promising so far.

Will share a video of the mother and poults here.

Here is the video

Good luck! Would love to see videos/ pictures of the new family. Here was my plan B after my turkey girls wouldn't set!

Here is the video. The second chicken also hatched keets and I put the two in the same space for observation. Check the results

It's wonderful how well the mothers have card for the chicks. It has been more than a week now and no casualties or signs of illness.

That is a great thumb up for the girls

So excited to see this works.. I have two Orps who were bound and determined to hatch something, so I gave them each 8 Turkey eggs... I am DYING for them to hatch!
