Turkey eggsTurkey eggsI picked up two turkey hens yesterday, and today one of them has laid an egg. I wondered if anyone has eaten turkey eggs before ?
Re: Turkey eggsMy neighbour worked in a turkey farm and brought home those that were not suitable to incubate.

Sandy I can imagine one of the main reasons people don't eat them is Turkeys don't lay that many eggs a year (probably about a third less than chickens) so any eggs are used to make more turkeys. ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰

Made me laugh as there was only fresh hay all over the barn, not a poo in sight and she went 'oh look' and pointed to a nest of about 25 absolutely sparkling clean eggs, all neatly arranged! I thought 'My chicken coop looks like that'

The eggs are only used to hatch as turkeys don't lay many eggs. I might be brave and try one, someone told me they have had curried turkey eggs.
Re: Turkey eggsI would imagine they're a bit bigger than chicken and a bit smaller than goose but taste more like goose - those bigger eggs are always more creamy I think.I've got 2 Jenny's so I'm hopefully going to get to taste them come the spring here (so maybe around September)...be interested to see what you think of them.

Its a tiny bit bigger than a chicken egg, i was surprised how small it was considering how big the turkey is. I will try and put a pic on here of it. Will let you know what it tastes like once i've plucked up the courage to eat it.
Re: Turkey eggsAll the info says about one and a half times a chookie egg...which I agree when you look at the size of them next to a chook makes you feel a bit robbed
I'm going to start carrying my camera with me one of the Tom's was jumping around this morning all puffed up with a bright blue head...thinking he's all that...silly bird....mind you as I said makes them really interesting. ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰
