theres a farm in Perth thats got a big sign that says it sells eggs
under it is another sign that says Golf Range

I always wondered if that was a new type, as opposed to Free Range lol

true story!

Go to a village farm shop and you may see them.

My understanding is that mostly male c0cks are kept for turkey meat and the hens tand to be a bit fighty to farm together.

Also due to their size they are too big to battery farm as the eggs are pretty similar in size to normal chickens, hence no profit.

But ALL birds lay eggs, and if unfertized I believe from the depths of my survival training ALL are edible.

Of course you have turkey eggs! How do you think turkeys multiply. lol.

The eggs are much larger than that of a chicken egg. The turkey eggs I know of, one is equivalent to about three or four chicken eggs. And they smell fresh, fresh, too fresh!

thanks for all your responses
Sorry figure but what do you mean they smell fresh,fresh too fresh!

Fresh as in scent. It is more reek than that of a chickens' egg.
I grew up in a home where chickens, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl etc. were reared. I've had first hand experience with eggs lol.

All domestic animal and reptiles lay eggs. Is this a school project? Do you want help? Let me know.

[col craddock]

Thankyou figure its no school project way passed those now. Its just we all eat so much chicken and eggs and turkey and well we dont eat turkey eggs, do we , why not?

There are several reasons why they're not common. First of all, chickens are much more efficient egg-producers than turkeys.
Chickens start laying at 19 weeks of age, while turkeys hold off until they're a far more mature 32 weeks old.

Because of their large size, turkeys would require much more nesting room than chickens, which would make commercial coops less cost-efficient.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, turkeys are far more maternal than chickens. Generations of egg farming have made chicken hens rather nonchalant about their offspring. They lay eggs and show no interest in their outcome. Turkeys, on the other hand, aggressively protect their eggs and prefer to incubate them.
