Generally it takes until the following year that a poult hatches to lay eggs. So those hatched last year will start to lay this year

Mine just started a few weeks ago here, but further south they start earlier.

Turkey hens generally lay from spring to fall. Most laying a clutch before going broody or stopping for a month or so before laying for a bit again, until the fall molt.
