Turkeys raising Chickens

 

Turkey and Chicken Chicks

When your turkeys and chickens free range together funny things happen. They lay eggs in any nest and they don’t care who it belongs to. The only problem here is that chickens hatch at 21 days and the turkeys hatch at around 28 days. I keep the incubator running this time of year so when any of the birds show up with new chicks I can collect any remaining eggs and put them in it. If I have a broody hen to put them under that is better but it usually doesn’t happen that way.
