My first broody!

problem I encountered by trying to put poults that were hatched in a bator with a hen is the poults did not know they were baby turkeys and wouldn't stay with the hen.
It wouldn't hurt to try to give them to the hen,hopefully you will get better results than I did.[/quote]

Well, I guess if it works, it works. If not, I will know that I did all I could. I could brood them separately if needed, but would really rather have them with the hen.

That's IF we get any poults out of this at all!

We have a baby! I lifted Echo's wing this morning and saw one wet poult. I didn't lift her to check for more.

I am a little concerned because she soiled her nest yesterday. I didn't clean it because the eggs were so close to hatch date, and didn't want to interfere with pipping.
