Please help

I have a turkey sitting on her eggs and for some reason she is pecking off the outside of the eggs they are pipping on there own is she trying to help them she has already helped 2 of them and both did not survive what should I do

Are the shells too hard? Can you slightly mist them with lukewarm water?

 

[mrbuch]

I don't think so. I am not sure why she is doing this the first one she did it to she took off the whole shell and never broke the membrane I am not hopeful for the rest of them to hatch

Can you take the other eggs away and put them in an incubator.? They have a better chance there (hopefully) than left with her.

 

[mrbuch]

I would but I am going into lock down with my chicks in the morning and I dont want to screw them up to Is it ok to put them in there

 

[thecrumbler]

Did any other eggs hatch?

 

[mrbuch]

I am waiting for her to come off the nest She is very hateful when I try to get near her eggs she has drawn blood on me few times when I have tried to candle If she does not come off soon I guess I will just take my licks ha ha
