I HATE THEM MIXING EGGS.

Its devastating of my turkey hens (2) of them always mixing eggs in one nest which negates the hatching rate. For instance they layed 24 in all but hatched only nine. I tried to separate them by dividing the eggs but after daily brake they go to where they first laid the eggs and leave the other ones. At the end they hatched only nine and the rest died lately in the eggs. What can I do about it?

Separate out each broody hen to her own pen, or pull the eggs and incubate them yourself. In nature each hen would go to her own nesting site.
