Glad you joined us!

I am not a turkey expert, but I expect that your tom could be infertile, Also, what breed are your turkeys? If they are one of the commercial types (broad breasted white, etc.), then they probably aren't able to mate naturally. With commercial turkey breeds, the large breast of the male prevents him from mounting the hens correctly.

For more answers, I would post your question in the Turkeys section of the forums. People there, who are more knowledgeable about turkeys, should be able to help.

Good luck!
 
Ok thank you so much I didn't realize there were different sections he has fertilized her eggs before just not now thanks again
