Hi, I have a great broody hen and decided to try 6 turkey eggs under her. They are due to hatch in a few days. My plan is to move the mother and poults from the nest box to a 3x3 covered pen with shavings and straw after they hatch. About the risk of blackhead, I'll give the babies a medicated wild game starter. I'd also like to try cayenne for their mother.
Has anybody done this before and if so will you let me know if I'm on the right track? Here are some photos -- I'm getting excited!
