to leave the babies or not

[Kitty86]

OK my hen turkey as had much more lucky hatching eggs then I.. Shes raised 3 for 3 turkey eggs along with 2 duck eggs.. My question.. I cant separate the tom from her as i just have them in my back yard.. As the turkeys was really planned lol.. Would you guys bring the babies in the house and put them in a brooder or go ahead and leave them with her.They are really healthy and doing good.. running around every where. This is her first sitting.. Thanx for the advice

Leave them out there. Depending on how attentive the tom is, it can be a little dicey, but the poults are imprinted on the hen. Give her a chance.

He not paid any attention to her till this afternoon.. and he stays in the barn with her now and he never use to.. But shes being a very good mother to them.. I was told first time hens dont always raise any.. BUT shes done dang good
