I think what you did was truly amazing and kind. We are talking about Wild Turkeys, aren't we? Because they are wildlife, you might want to contact your conservation/forest officials about what you have. Explain the situation to them, they might be able to help you with things that you can use and do as they get older.

What a great way to start off Easter morning. I remember we had incubators in the basement, and my Mom had so many chicken , duck and goose eggs in there. I felt so sorry for the little one trying to get out , so I helped them break out their shell.

We will do our best to get these guys up to a safe age and then we'll turn them loose. I'm going to encourage as much natural behavior as I can (roosting at night, ect.) so they hopefully will do well on their own outside.
As for contacting local wildlife officials, I'm a bit hesitant to do that. To the best of my knowledge it's actually against federal law to keep any species of animal that is naturally occuring in your area. I would never disturb a healthy nest and I wouldn't have took these eggs if I thought the hen would return but the law is the law. I'll just quietly do my good deed and hopefully help the turkey population in doing so. :)
