Or if not you can just eat it on a cracker. Nope, last time I did that I like to choke to death on a feather and I think the cracker was bad to.

Plenty of turkeys. Crows gotta eat too

Going down a log road checking traps and laying in the road was a turkey egg. Stop and look at it and crow tracks all around it and the egg was crack open. There was a turkey foot hung out of it and it started to move. Well I open it on up and the little guy was fully developed and even started making them little turkey sounds you know like a little chirp chirp noise or what ever. I cover it in a towel and haul it home. Got it under a light to keep warm but I believe it came into the world a little to soon. It is moving a little and will open it eyes some. So here the Q. I got some bantams and one been trying to set for about two weeks or so. Do you think if the little guy comes around that the bantam may take it. Be cool if it would make it. I'm so excited about being a new father again. Me and my son Butterball. I can see us now riding around together killin egg eating coons and eating corn on the cob. I'd let her settle on a nest and slip the poult under her at night. Some hens will adopt and some won't, but I think there's a better chance if it shows up while she is asleep; birds wake up to a brand new world every day and by morning it will have some of her smell on it.

I would check the sides of the log road for more eggs. A fully developed egg doesn't just appear in the trail. The crow may have rolled it out to work on it.

Found 2 cracked turkey eggs on a dirt road in Nebraska the last day I was there. Some varmint had found a nest and stole a couple but had not eaten all of them yet. I do not believe the hen had started setting yet as they showed no sign of development.
Give the bantam a try. Might be the best chance for the little one.

Was there any Yolk still showing? If not it's likely full term, and just needs to be kept warm.

a eye dropper drop of terramycin to half gallon of water will give the little guy a boost. Every wild turkey chick I ever tried raising around domestics died with in days of disease
