Turkey hatch

No, A broody female turkey with lay up to about 14-17 eggs before sitting on them, They'll then proceed to sit on the eggs for about 28 days until they all hatch under the turkey, During this the female turkey will only get up during the brood once or twice a day to stretch and do it's thing, She will then go straight back onto the nest and continue incubating the eggs.
 
If she isn't broody yet there are times a hen will cover the nest back with leaves or surrounding material so,it is not as discoverable by predators.
