Hello Everyone....
Quick question I have a hen, a guinea and a turkey that have all gone broody. The guinea, in fact, hatched her brood over the last couple of days. The hen I suspect should start hatching her clutch in the next few days. The turkey, however, just went broody last week. The problem is, I know her egg is not fertile. (I don't have a tom.) So, I took away her egg in hopes of discouraging her from sitting. Well, she has robbed eggs from a chicken nest. We caught her rolling them to her nest when we went out to gather eggs. So, I feel bad for her because she obviously wants to be a mama. Should I try to put some other eggs under her?
