When should I expect eggs?

[ccrawf]

I have 4 turkeys, a pair of Bourbon Reds and a Spanish Black Tom and a Blue Slate hen. Then slate hen laid a dozen eggs around Christmas, but I haven't gotten any eggs since. Is this some thing I should be worried about, or is there still plenty of time for them to start laying eggs? I live in Missouri.
Thanks.

My Emden geese have satarted laying, and I have 12 eggs I plan to put in the incubator today or tomorrow.
But no turkey eggs yet.

They should start to lay any day. I still have some hens that haven't started laying yet.

I'm with you, just hanging out trying to be patient. My Bourbon hen is laying faithfully but those darn Midgets haven't started yet.

I sold one of my Bourbon red hens last month. And she has laid an egg a day since. Didn't realize she was laying when I sold her, and picked the wrong one to sell, obviously.
Thinking of penning the birds up as pairs. Any one have thoughts on that, or do you all just leave them out? I have 45 chickens, a pair of Emden geese and the 4 turkeys. The all run and live together in the coop.
Thanks.

Do they really lay that long if you keep gathering the eggs? I had heard 45-55 eggs maybe, so two months max. Wow!
Still, looking forward to it, and that is what I kept them over the winter for.

They can lay up to 90 eggs ive heard
