My SO and I have a few turkeys last year one of our hens ran off and brought back 9 babies. My question Is which breed seems to be the best mothers? we do have a couple incubators and are successful with chicken eggs but not so successful with turkey eggs so we are hoping that the mother will sit and raise them. we are ordering some poults in a couple weeks
 
Someone with more turkey experience may have another opinion but IMO, all heritage turkeys are very closely related and varieties haven't really diverged in their traits like chickens have. IMO most heritage turkeys are fairly prone to be setters.
