Title: Turkey nest
Post by: MACHINIST on May 17, 2014, 05:54:28 PM
I found a turkey nest a few weeks back,I took a pic from around 20-25 foot away from it and left.I went back to look at the nest and I see no signs of any hen going in or out.I know I had a turkey get killed around the same time because the farmer saw a coyote with a turkey in its mouth about 300 yards from the nest.I am not sure if its the turkey that owns the nest or not.If it is will the eggs hatch without the hen there?Will another hen take the nest over?

If they haven't been sat on regularly I believe they are beyond help.

Yes I am the only one that can help,I cannot take all these eggs through the life stage either as I don't live in the country and then my daughter would want to keep them all also.

In my experience with hatching eggs you could  possibly get some of them to hatch.  That's if you can get them in an incubator soon. They will be OK for a week or two if the incubation process hasn't started. More than likely it has so it's hard to say what will happen. You can candle them to see how far along they are.... not sure what the game commission would say about it though.
