    Are all turkey eggs speckled?

    I could use opinions on this same subject. We are getting these large eggs (on the left), and they sound like a turkey egg shell, and look like a turkey egg, though there is no spotting. I sacrificed on of our precious turkey eggs (we have one hen laying consistently for us, every other day)...
