Hi, I am somewhat new to Turkeys and have a question.
I have a pair of royal palms about 14 months olds. My hen has been laying a while. Most of the time I collect the eggs and incubate them myself but since it's getting warmer I have started leaving them in her nest. She has 5 now. The pair is in a 10x10 lot. The hen lays in a 50 gallon barrel. Here is my question.... A friend told me when my hen starts to set, my gobbler will break up her nest just so he can breed her again and that I need to separate my male. He doesn't raise Turkeys but is an avid hunter and says wild Turkeys do this, IS THIS TRUE FOR MY ROYAL PALMS?? Any advice will greatly be appreciated!
