Brooding is one of the most difficult periods in the life of any naturally incubating bird. During the period the bird limits most of its life activities like roaming, eating, mating and sand-bathing. These activities all play vital role in the total development of any bird. https://turkeyview..com/2015/10/overdue-hen.html |

How then do you ensure all eggs are hatched and that you hen doesn't starve as well? 1 Like |

Roseey0: Hi Rose How did the separation of the toms go? Well any egg that is viable will hatch during the 3 days intense brooding period. If the egg fails, it is possible that it is not viable. However if the egg is viable then you may balance the risk of starving the hen and getting the egg hatched. Do you know how to assist-hatch an egg? 1 Like |

Good afternoon, i have been trying to identify the difference between a male and female poult..can you help with any features I can look out for when I go to buy? |

kunlesufyan: A friend showed me a trick some time back. Will do a video and upload it later. When you hold up the poult, the female's legs will straighten up and that of the male will look downwards. I will do a video and post it |

rastamouse: Do turkey naturally hatch their eggs? I have heard two persons complaining that their turkey refused to hatch eggs. Is that very frequent or rare. What's the solution? |

GorillaApp:The best bet is to take the eggs to public hatchery for setting. Turkey hens are not too good at incubating eggs, they may eventually waste majority of the eggs. By preventing them to go broody on the eggs stimulates them to lay more eggs per clutch. So collecting the eggs and taking them to hatchery is recommended. |

Raph82:OK. Thsmks bro. The problem now is locating the hatchery. Haven't heard of anyone around my axis |
