at what age do turkeys lay?
does a tom giving loving to a hen mean they are already laying or he's just darn horny?
what does a turkey egg look like?
like with chickens do younger poults lay first smaller eggs, then bigger as they grow up?
do turkeys lay like chickens (every 24 hoursish) or are they more seasonal layers?
where are turkeys likely to lay?
a bit of info on my turkeys...3 hens (from august 2010 so 8 months old) 1 tom (from july 2010) all from the Belgian Ronquieres breed.
For the past 2 weeks the tom has been busy with the ladies (and my gosh the ladies make a noise! is that normal???) but ive yet to find anything resembling what i think would be turkey eggs. ive been getting some extra large chicken eggs ....could these actually be turkey eggs?(although id imagine turkey eggs to be even bigger?) they are being laid in the chicken house...so far theres been 5 smooth, all one colour large eggs, and one with brown 'freckles'.
i just thought my turkeys should be laying by now
