Pls my fellow nairalanders in the house, I need advice on what to do; my turkey just died on the 14th day of incubating her eggs what do I do with the 12 eggs she left behind. I found her dead on top her eggs yesterday. Nobody know the cause of her dead she lay the eggs in a bush very close to my neighbor house.

Your turkey might have been beaten by a snake....
Pick up the eggs and take them to an hatchery... although by now, you might be able to save some

possible it might have been bitten, pls take the eggs to hatcher close by and immediately

Sorry for your loss. If you have an incubator you could possibly hatch some of the eggs or make a research on how to build one with local materials around you. Do that quickly

I experienced this last year. I was kinda confused. My own thought was it must have starved to death or probably dehydrated.

No its not snake bite, turkey is starve to death, next time you have a turkey sleeping on eggs make sure everyday you go to give food and make sure its eats i your presence

Thank you very much for your concern. My neighbor replace the turkey eggs with one of her chicken's that is currently incubating her eggs. The chicken covered the turkey eggs properly. I hope it hatch some.

Am sorry for your loss, please I will need an update on this

It's not snake bike. They starve to death. They just sit on their eggs n don't eat. They stay for days n die there. Next time always take food there n water.
