missing turkey babies?

[small farm in texas]

I hear turkey babies near the hen, dont see any and lots of unhatched eggs. Whats the deal is she eating the spent eggs if so where are my babies and when will she bring them out? any advise is welcome. First timer here.

I'm not certain what you are describing. Is she still setting on the nest ? Or has she moved off with the poults ?

she cant move them they are in an enclosure and she cant go anywhere its fenced and top with netting. When I lifted her I can hear them.

Still sitting on nest

Is she still brooding? It’s possible that what you’re hearing is the internal pip. You can typically hear babies before they hatch

If they’re bothering her, yes. Or if you think they’d pose a threat to the chicks, also yes.
