I’m not sure yet, because I don’t really have enough room for more birds in my flock, but I wouldn’t mind letting her hatch some, I just wouldn’t be able to keep them for more than 3-4 monthsAre you trying to get her to go broody?
Thanks, how would I go about breaking her? I’ve done research but I can’t find much on the topicSounds broody. If you can find some fertile turkey eggs locally, you can give her some. If not it would be best to break her of being broody.
Do you have access to fertile eggs if not I wouldn't try to purposefully make her go broody for no reason.I’m not sure yet, because I don’t really have enough room for more birds in my flock, but I wouldn’t mind letting her hatch some, I just wouldn’t be able to keep them for more than 3-4 months
Remove her nest box. Don't leave more than one fake egg for her.Thanks, how would I go about breaking her? I’ve done research but I can’t find much on the topic
I don’t directly have any, but I’m sure I could get some from someone locally. I want to make her stop being broody, but I don’t think it’d be good to put her in a cage for to long. She gets very angry and won’t settle if she doesn’t feel like she’s in a good place. I would rather let her hatch eggs than risk ruining my close bond with her due to cold water plunges or being kept in a cage.Do you have access to fertile eggs if not I wouldn't try to purposefully make her go broody for no reason.
I don’t really think that’s possible for me to do, cause that’s the only place she will lay. And she lays almost everyday so I wouldn’t want to make her feel like she couldn’t lay her eggs. I don’t wanna risk her getting egg bound.Remove her nest box. Don't leave more than one fake egg for her.
No need to cage a turkey hen to break the broodiness.I don’t directly have any, but I’m sure I could get some from someone locally.
