What would you think if you found 4 nest of turkey egg shells in ryegrass field in Ms.  My question is ....did they hatch or did coons destroy nest. I didn't see the nest but a friend did.  I'm hoping they hatched.

If the shells were all in the nests, I'd say hatched. Coons scatter them pretty good.

Sounds great guys !!! Just what I wanted to hear.
Thanks for your input

If they were pretty much "halved" they were hatched.  Poults basically chip out of the egg in a circle.  if something raided the nest the shells would be crunched into small pieces, or even ate.

Genesis 27:3 - Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.
