turkey egg fertail???

I would say if she has a shelter, add some hay or bedding. Watch her, if she moves the egg to the nest and sets on it good. If not, pull it so it doesnt go bad. You could always put the egg on the bedding, not sure how she would respond to that though. Unfortunately you can't tell if an egg is fertilized till it has been incubated for a few days and candled.

Thank you so much. just one more queston.my dad says the egg would probly not be fertail because it is her very first egg and its a hair bigger then our large chicken eggs. Could it be fertial??

The size of the egg doesn't impact whether its fertile or not but it does impact its hatchability. If this is literally her first egg ever, not the first of the season then it probably won't hatch. But you never know, I've hatched a few pullet eggs before out of curiosity.

So should i take her eggs for a couple months or wait till next year??

If you are not going to incubate any there is no harm in letting her set on her first clutch. Just make sure to remove any strays or broken ones. If she doesnt set at all pull them. If she sets see what happens and clean up any remainders after she stops setting.
