Help with broody hen turkey!!!

[petlover0827]

We recently bought a broody hen turkey along with her 13 eggs yesterday...ever since we've kept her n her nest of eggs n an extra large dog kennel and she won't lay on her nest now...shes had the eggs for 2 weeks n she was sitting on them before we got her. Any suggestions on wat to do?

Turkey hens mostly refuse to be moved. I doubt she will set on them and unfortunately they are probably all dead by now. You shouldn't interrupt a hatch like that.

I am sure you didn't mean to or know any better, but moving a hen from one nest / home to a whole other place probably messed her up, and it's quite possible the bitties are dead now, but just in case they aren't you could get an incubator and place them in there, you will need to set it to the right temps and mist it here and there for the proper humidity.
