I have had chickens for years and they are ridiculously easy to get information on, yay me.
Now I have turkeys too and I keep trying to find some basic details but so far, have missed some things.
1. How old do they need to be to start laying?
2. Once they start laying, what is their laying cycle? 1 a day? 1 a week? for a month? For 6 months?
3. Do turkey eggs taste like chicken eggs (just bigger)?
Right now I have 9 (although at least one has been dubbed a menu item so that number could change
) I have one Tom and a bunch of hens (I think) and they live in the barn with my chickens. I have over 30 chickens, of varying ages and genders, and right now the daylight is supplemented with artificial light so that I get about a dozen eggs a day. The turkeys were all hatched in my incubator between March 15 and Late May early June so some are only 5 or 6 months old.
Thanks for any info you can share.
