We have a one year old turkey hen who started laying eggs for the first time this spring. We collected a half dozen eggs from to incubate (4 out of 6 hatched). She then went on to lay 9 additional eggs that she sat on and incubated herself (7 out of 9 hatched). We took the poults she hatched and put them in a brooder to grow out and she began laying a second clutch of eggs. I understand that normal clutches are <15 eggs and turkeys can have a second laying if they "lose" their babies so this was all to be expected however, her second clutch is now numbering 25 eggs and counting. That is 40+ eggs she has laid so far this year. Anyone experience this before?
All the eggs wont be good, but you can try to incubate if you want, or you can toss the eggs and start over. Then you can collect the eggs every day and incubate them.
