Accidently hit a turkey nest bush hogging. If I were too put the eggs under a setting chicken hen will they hatch? If they were to hatch, would the poults eventually be able to survive in the wild, and last is there anything illegal about doing that?

You might want to contact the local conservation office to play it safe. If you end up raising them yourself keep us updated. I want to know how they do.

Just try it, if you don’t have an incubator… done bummed the meat up, don’t see what it will hurt. At least your trying..

Just put them under the chicken. They'll hatch and follow her around.

Yes they’ll hatch, but they’ll more than likely die. It is illegal JFYI.

It will work. Buddy of mine hatched a gobbler under a chicken. As far as survival it will be fine as long as it hangs around as a wild animal it will probably be dead in short order.

Incubator be best wild turkeys can catch a lot of stuff from chickens

Aint a snowball's chance in hell I'd call them.. The first thing them crooks would do is jump in their truck and come trump up a reason to give you a ticket even if you havent actually touched the egg yet

I know a guy who did it…many times…and he was successful…this was a long time ago. He kept a breeding set of wild birds so he always had eggs to hatch…byned they is turkeys in the places he released..and they wudnt before…but he went above and beyond anybody in our state ever did to make sure the release was successful…an he turned loose UHBUNCHA TURKEYS…I still know where their old roost tree is…and like all wild birds they all moved where the better habitat was..and are still there today.
