Two Broody Turkeys on one clutch

[Clahetta]

I have two broody turkeys that where sitting on one clutch of 16 eggs. I had one egg hatch ( baby is doing great). One of the mothers got off and the second mom started sitting on the rest of the eggs by herself. After a week 4 eggs where out of nest and the first mom would sit on them but never consistently. One of the eggs got crushed. Sunday will be 2 weeks past the hatching of my poult. I just took out the 3 eggs that were rolled out. They were cold so I brought them in and we’ll see how far along the embryos were. The second mom is still sitting on the others eggs. How long do I let her sit? Who’s eggs were who’s?
