a turkeys laying season

[birdbrain5]

how long is a turkeys laying season? mine have been off and on for a while now, with a week or so of no eggs sometimes, i think its the awful heat here. i do have a hen that hasnt laid a single egg in a very long time tho. nothing but the weather has changed here. same feed, same pen. just hot hot hot. should i expect them to lay a little better once this heat breaks, or could they be finishing up for the season?

Mine are slowing in the heat but not much. I am averaging a little over 3 eggs a day now from the four so someone is starting to hold out on me. They were hitting 4 for 4 like a sewing machine for the two previous months. Its really time for them to slow. I have 72 BR eggs in the incubator and about 70 poults to feed right now. My toms are getting tired.

It can vary with the breed and your region. My Midget Whites start in March and are still laying at a somewhat reduced rate right now. I expect come September or thereabouts they'll pack it in for the year.
