Mother Hen Adopts Orphaned Turkeys

Posted: Updated:

Sheryl Dlask found seven turkey eggs a couple weeks ago at her Center junction farm, after her husband accidentally ran over their mother while doing fieldwork.

All seven hatched, and are healthy...all thanks to  a mother hen.

Sheryl had the eggs under an incubator until momma chicken suddenly showed signs of nesting.

They'll release the turkeys to the wild in about six to seven weeks when they're all grown up.
