So, we started to get our first turkey eggs this last week. Not sure who is the one laying or if more than one has been. So far we have gotten one turkey egg every other day. they are about the same size as our larger chicken eggs, but I am guessing they will get bigger just like the chicken eggs started off smaller than they are now once the girls get settled in. From what I understand turkeys do not lay that many eggs during the year and they typically only lay in the spring, so we'll see how things go. The guys love them and fight over who gets to eat the turkey egg.

| They are a creamy white with brown spots |

| Just about the same size as one of our large eggs |

| The yoke is a bit larger as you can see here (turkey on the left) and the color was just a hint darker then the chicken yoke. |
 |
| turkey egg is on the right showing the yoke is wider but not as round as the chicken yoke |
The spot color is sometimes a purplish brown color. I am excited to see if they get bigger as time goes by!
