Broad breasted white turkey fertilization

[Sabrams5]

I have 1 tom and 7 hen broad breasted white turkeys from the cull of the houston livestock show and we have witnessed the tom mating with several of the hens. We just discovered multiple eggs. I have heard it is possible but rare. But is there a chance he could have fertilized the eggs now or eventually?

Not only possible but likely. I am guessing they are yearlings which is what they used to use before they started doing artificial insemination.

As they get older they get heavier and less flexible which can lead to the hens getting injured and poor fertility rates.
