my turkey has quit laying as far as I can tell. she was laying every other day and layed about 8 or 9 eggs and now nothing. unless she has a nest outside somewhere, but I dont think so because last year she layed about 3 eggs for the season. so I guess 8 eggs is an improvement???
just a quick update on my turkey. She is obviously smarter than me... I did catch her just to feel her belly to see if i could feel any eggs. very gently... all that accomplished was her and Tom turkey flogging the snot out of me.. I though my wrist was broken for a bit... my fault tho...
my hen is aboutn 3 years old. she has never laid... I think maybe she laid two last year. but never any others.. I think she has a problem.. I decided it cant be hers because they are in a little nest. there is no way she could ever get into it.
I have a really dumb question. Is it possible to have a turkey lay miniture eggs? I am getting an egg every other day and it is about the size of a banty chicken egg but it is pointed and has spots like a turkey egg...just tiny. I have been waiting for her to lay an egg but hasnt happened...
I only have one hen and one Tom.. Red bourbon hen and white royal palm Tom. She is not laying yet and he is more interested in the geese than in her, lol. Hopeful that they will get together sometime..
I thought that they didnt lay all year. Maybe something is wrong with all my poultry because my geese are not laying and in past years only lay in the spring for a few months. Turkeys only lay in the late spring and only about a dozen eggs and they are done for another year. Wonder why this...
