I am thinking about getting turkeys for egg laying and I wanted to know what the best breeds were for eggs. I am located in Ohio.

All domestic turkeys are the same breed, Turkey. There are many varieties.

Turkeys are seasonal layers. If you want eggs all year long, stick with chickens.

The BBws in particular are being bred to be better egg layers so that the commercial turkey meat industry can produce turkeys all year long instead of just seasonally. Their best laying will be during their one year old season and should be replaced annually due to the inherent problems that exist with a fast growing variety intended for fast meat production.

A search would have turned up this similarly named thread.
