Turkeys eating eggs, what do I do??

[Chickenman2006]

So I have tried to find everything I can about this subject but I can’t. I have a turkey hen who eat her eggs and the other turkeys eggs but not the chicken eggs. Her eggs are soft and the other turkeys too so that may be the reason but I’m not sure. Is there any way I can get her to stop eating them without just culling them and starting over?

Do they have oyster shell available?
Also try upping the protein

put golf balls in the nest box

They have oyster shells in a separate dish. They have 20 % protein feed and they have golf balls in the nesting box. I can try to up the protein

The only thing that helped mine, is taking eggs hourly

Does that mustard trick where you put it in the eggs work?

I am in school so I can’t but I can on weekends

You may have to switch to a layer feed for laying season since your turkeys obviously are not getting enough calcium.

If I had an identifiable egg eater, I would invite her to dinner.

Haha. Yeah I will try to up her protein

They don't need their protein upped, they need their calcium intake increased.
