So I have a 4 month old turkey hen who has decided its cool to sit with a hen and co nest on about 10 chicken eggs. They have been relentless for about 1 week solid so far. The hen is notorious for going broody but the turkey hen is perplexing. She is not even old enough to lay her own eggs yet. Anyone ever seen anything like this? Would you experiment and allow the behavior to continue? I will separate when it come to hatch time because of the uncertainty of the juvenile turkeys behavior. But what on earth?
