Egg Bound? I think...

[jaredslilcluckers]

My grandma called me because she has 4 turkens. 3 of them are in the nesting boxes and won't get out. 1 of them will not eat or drink. It started with just one of them in there for like 4 days. Then all of a sudden today there are 3 in there. The one that isn't acts like she's trying to tell my grandma what to do but she doesn't understand chicken talk. So my grandma asked me to post on here and ask for advice since we are both new to this chicken life.
Thanks!

Most likely they have gone broody. They will stay on the nest almost 24/7; sometimes they need to be removed once a day to get them to eat, drink and poop.

You can let them set on and hatch fertile eggs, or put them in a wire cage without bedding for a few days to break the broodiness.
