That looks just like my pile of broodys. I also have no idea how many eggs are under there. Should be interesting. Will the hens share in raising the poults also?

Im not sure if they will share well. Im hoping that as they hatch one hen will take on a few and the others will continue to sit until all the eggs hatch. But this is my first time letting a turkey hen stay broody but instead of it only being one hen 4 decided it was a good idea

Y'all are lucky your hens are broody and that you will have them to raise the poults for you. How exciting!

I got a call yesterday saying that my turkey did not hatch due to all the storms in Oklahoma and the power going out. They said hopefully next week if the storms stay clear till then.
