We have Naragansett Turkeys, and recently a hen went broody so we let her hatch her eggs. Two poults hatched out on monday (6/24) and she got up with them to move around their section of the coop and left the other 6 eggs on the nest. Tuesday (6/25) another hatched out and she continued to stay off the nest, then bedded down with the other chicks on the other side of the room. We watched the 3rd chick and attempted to introduce it into her little brood, but she would peck at it. Since we thought it would die alone and doesnt seem sick, we have had it in the incubator since then. How can we re-introduce this lone poult to its family??
 
looks like your hatch might have been staggered

slot of times staggered hatches are bad under a broody

they might abandon unhatched eggs and concentrate on what's already hatched

I think that's what's happened with you
