I have a turkey hen that doesnt lay

[medusah]

shes about 2 and has not layed a egg yet. Any suggestions?

Does she free range?

 

[medusah]

no shes penned. pen is about 50 ft x 20

Just wondering if she was hiding eggs somewhere. What are you feeding her?

 

[medusah]

she eats corn and high protien food and we have looked everywhere but not found any

 

[enola]

I would cut the corn out of her diet. Corn is only about 8% protein.

One small handful of corn once in a while would be the perfect treat.

If your turkey is like my chickens, she will eat corn until she is full and then walk right past the layer crumbles........just like kids and candy!

Well, unfortunately that's a possibility, also.

is she with chickens/ducks/etc? if mine was, i think it would be easy to confuse with those eggs; particularly duck eggs. they are supposed to be speckled, but sometimes they are not! you could lock her up in a pen/cage by hersf for about three days and see what happens.
