I'm a complete turkey newb. I've had chickens before, but not a self perpetuating flock.

We were given some Royal Palms.They've been here about a week. I've observed the hens squatting a couple of times, but there are no eggs. I check for eggs at least two to three times a day. I'm assuming it takes them awhile to settle down after being moved?How long after you observe squatting should you generally start seeing eggs?
 
Turkeys only lay at certain times in the year. Were they already laying before you brought them home?

If they were, you may just need to let them settle in.
 
Thanks for your reply. Yes, they were laying, that's why I was wondering. Got my question answered, though. We have two eggs:)
