Use a serving or cooking spoon. Or wear gloves. I suppose that turkey eggs aren't as fragile as canary eggs, as it's the oils on the fingers that can suffocate a developing chick. But, to be safe, I'd get an old slotted spoon from the cooking drawer or some old cotton gloves (dirt covered personally would be better as there would be less chance of oils transferring). Definitely not latex or nitril gloves. Or see if you can just scootch the silkie over for a few minutes. This forum here has a couple of day-by-day diaries of when I was breeding canaries & I'll see tonight if I can find pix of viable eggs.
