    turkey hens laying different size eggs

    I have three turkey hens and am getting 2 or 3 eggs a day. I have noticed that the eggs vary in size, one what I would consider a normal sized turkey egg, 103g, then one a little smaller, 83g & one about the size of a duck egg, weighing 71g, and was wondering why there was such a variance in size.
