I am currently hatching 25 turkey eggs in my incubator... We are on day 12. My hen had been sitting on her eggs for the last couple weeks, all of a sudden two days ago she got off the nest and refused to return.... In mist of hoping to save the 3 eggs, I put them in my incubator (figuring since she'd been off them a day, they wouldn't survive) WELP got home today from work and I have one biddy!! Up and walking! I know I'm suppose to leave him in the incubator a couple days after hatching but with my turkey eggs I can't since they are on a automatic egg turner.... I took him out, have put him in a small basket, under a heat light on one side and put 4 towels in there with him.. What else do I need to do? Food water?? I sooo wasn't expecting this.... pics to follow... Also edited to add. I have a hen with one week old chicks right now.. Do you think she'd mother this one or is it worth the try? I dont wanna lose this little one
