Incubating Wild Turkey Eggs

[melanie]

I just bought 12 wild turkey eggs on ebay. They are settling now. Just came yesterday. I've had the incubator running for 2 days. I also have a broody chicken hen. Would it be best to put the eggs under a hen? Or try incubating them? I've heard they are really difficult to hatch. I've read a lot about incubating them.

I personally have never tried putting turkey eggs under a broody hen, but I have put eggs in an incubator. Out of the close to 30 eggs, I had 7 hatch, and 4 survive past the first week.
