Turkeys...laying...incubateing??

[justusnak]

I have a RP Tom, a RP Hen...a Bronze hen, and a blue slate hen. Yesterday amd today I found an egg in the pen. Is there a way to tell which turkey laid it?? Its tan with brown spots. Also....can I incubate these first few eggs?? Or are they like pullett eggs?? They are HUGE!

Hi Deb. If yours are starting, mine shouldn't be too far behind! My tom has been strutting, but I haven'r seen any action. lol
I can't tell the difference in mine, unless I see them setting and laying that egg. You can try to set it and see what happens.

No, pretty much all the eggs look alike. Each individual may have some minor differences like hens, but there's no significant difference in color between breeds.

So if I set these first few.....there is a good possibility they will hatch?? Hmmmmmm...my bator will be EMPTY by Sunday...

Turkeys have the same temp and humidity, but are 28 days instead of 21.
