You are most likely looking at turkey eggs that are fertile, meaning that someone: 1) had to have turkeys that would breed naturally, so a heritage breed, 2) managed to grow out poults to adult breeding condition when poults are notorious for killing themselves in foolish ways 3) collected the eggs safely (turkeys lay only once every 2-3 days, and very seasonally -shorter season than chickens. Oh, and they can be hard to get to use a nest, making finding the little buggers hard. Snakes and raccoons often find the eggs first.) 

That's why I agree with LT; get your own turkeys and keep the eggs for yourself, or sell them, or both!

Here here. I've seen poults drown themselves trying to watch the rain.

Oh, and the eggs from Kroger in the fall are likely from those factory farmed birds, making them less expensive in the same way that chicken meat is less expensive at the grocery than it is if you grow it yourself.
 
The girl is supposed to be calling me tomorrow to confirm that they can get them, the exact price, and gauge of the wire. If you want them, I'll pick them up for you but I don't know when I'd be able to get back down your way again. With warm weather getting here, between projects and working 60 hours a week, traveling will be a rare thing for me.
