As long as they aren't handled too much they're still wild turkeys. Turkeys hatched on a farm and released when they can fly stand a better chance of making it to a yr old than an egg hatched by a hen in the wild.
I don't have scientific proof of this. Just making it up, but I bet if you took 100 eggs hatched in the wild vs 100 hatched on a farm and re-released when they have all their feathers you'd end up with better survivability in the farm raised ones.

Read the book, "Illumination in the Flatwoods"... Its about a guy who finds a brood of poults in the wild and raises them for a year and tells about his experiences. Super insightful about the habits and tendencies of wild turkeys and will even help you understand them better when you hunt them in the Spring.
