    Default Turkey Hen Nesting Dates

    I have a rye field that I’ll be drilling sorghum into shortly. There’s a hen nesting in it, what’s the earliest I can safely get in there without tearing up an active nest?

    They’ll hatch 28 days after she starts incubation. You have any idea how long the nest has been there?

    Saw her coming out the first time on April 11, don’t know if she was sitting then or just laying.
