They need to start robbing nests and incubate the poults where they'll have a chance. With all the corn feeders across the state, we've created a coon/possum/coyote factory that gives the turkeys less of a chance of ever hatching.

Do the chicks stand a chance in the wild without a hen to teach them how to survive?

This has been proven time and time again to not work and be a complete waste of money. That is why state's don't do it anymore.

Joe Hutto had the closest thing to success you could get with this method, and even most of his birds died.

They just can't replicate the impact the hen has on development and survival.
