I had a Chicken hen go broody, so I put 3 of the turkeys eggs under her, Well they hatched 3 days ago.
So far she has not taken them out of the nest, Shouldnt they be needing to eat and drink by now?
I am worried that she may be waiting too long. Do you think I need to take the poults away from her and raise them myself?
 
Thanks, I will try that in the morning.
The only problem is that if I get anywhere close to her she screams like a banshee!
 
Some good advice I got was to wear an oven mitt, then add food and water. Helps protect your hands from pecking!
