Has anyone else's Turkey Hens Stopped Laying?

I have two hens, a BR and a Standard Bronze. Both lovely ladies were laying for a little over a month, and as of the past couple weeks stopped with no apparent signs of laying anymore. Do first year hens tend to lay for a shorter period of time their first spring? I was hoping to incubate some more eggs this spring.

My hens started laying early this year. About the first of the year. My slate is still laying but my bourbon quit about 3 weeks ago. They also layer through November last year. I think it's just been a weird year. Where are you in Missouri?

Most turkey hens lay in clutches, than takes breaks between them, so a pattern of laying, than going broody or just not laying for a while is normal. They don't lay like chickens.

Thanks for the information! I'm about an hour north of Springfield.
