Is there a safe way to move a broody turkey? I think she has a bunch of chicken eggs under her. I want her to lay on turkey eggs only. Last year she was so mean that she attacked me. I don't want either one of us to go through that again. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
 
My turkey laid her eggs in the neighbor's yard we tried to move her twice and she just kept going back to the neighbor's yard to sit on the empty nest we finally gave up and just let her sit there.But we had a bigger problem her eggs were not fertile so we gave her chicken eggs
and here she is with her 8 baby chickens and so happy she started sitting in january we got the babies on the 17th of feb she is sitting again and we are going to have the same problem but at least she did make her nest in the coop this time and she is sitting on 11 this time with the chickens still getting under her they dont all fit so the ones that dont fit just lay on top of her and she does not care if we touch her eggs she only hisses at us at night when we go to check on her
