Title: turkeys- ?egg eaters tooo!!! help
Post by: manian on April 25, 2011, 07:17:53 pm
evening all
been out most of the day today training for my trek in september.......
we have a broody so allowed her to keep 5 eggs to see if they will hatch ( we have 9 eggs in the incubator)
Today we came home about 5 and found the broody sitting on 5 eggs and another in the other corner. i then found 3 eggs on the ground outside and looks like they have been eaten.... (well don't look like they have been eaten- were eaten ::) )
my Q is are turkeys egg eaters in the same way or has my broody thrown them out. (they usually share nest boxes)
Thanks for any advice
