What Color are Domestic White Turkey Eggs?

[mmshelties]

We have one Female White and one Male Bronze turkey that are in with our chickens and ducks. I can tell she has been laying eggs by the looks of her vent shape. What do their eggs look like? I have found the last couple days huge light brownish/creamy monster eggs that are brown speckled and pointed on the one end. Is this a Turkey egg? Thanks in advance from this newbie of one year!

It most likely is. All turkey eggs are white to cream to peach and often with brown flecks.
They are just slightly larger than chicken eggs and smaller than goose eggs.

My large whit female turkey had layed a huge egg and I mean like three times the size of a turkey egg and a dark bronze or brown color. I have not had any of my bronze turkey lay eggs this big. I only have two female bronze and one white female turkey and lots of chickens

When I was raising BBWs, their eggs were by far my biggest turkey eggs. Color wise, the eggs were essentially the same color as any of the other turkey eggs. My experience is that the color of turkey eggs is influenced more by the individual hen rather than by which variety of turkey she is.

Yep, that's a turkey egg.

The egg is really beautiful. I'll add that it has more flecks than most of the turkey eggs I've seed. I think the flecks make them more camouflaged to predators.

Thats what I thought but I wasnt sure....Probably fat chance she'll sit on any of them huh? Would love to hatch my own Turkeys.

Almost all turkey hens go broody once they have a clutch of eggs of sufficient number.
