We have a friend down the road who gives us duck eggs once in awhile. And that caused me to think about turkey eggs. Much like the description of turkey eggs, duck eggs do have more difficult shells and membranes and the egg yolk has a creamier texture. I boil the eggs for a quick breakfast every morning and because of their thicker membrane, they peel more easily. The cell with the membrane stays in one piece more easily so it's easier to peel

You want to know why? It's actually really simple. Many chicken breeds will lay an egg *every day* if it's not winter. Some of the better producers will lay two or more. Turkeys might lay an egg every three or four days, if conditions are good. Plus, they go through phases where they just won't lay any for a couple week at a time. They eat a lot too, especially compared to a chicken a fraction of their size. Basically, you'd need a lot more birds to fill an egg carton in the same amount of time, and each of those birds is more expensive to maintain as well. As a result, on average a single turkey egg is about the same price as a dozen chicken eggs. You don't need to take my word for it. Look it up.

Turkey eggs are great they bigger, almost twice the size, and creamier than chicken eggs - pretty similar to Duck eggs (I prefer the Duck eggs its tastier). It's a myth they only produce 3 a week once the initial laying starts they produce at the same rate as a chicken hen, once a day. The yolk is in a larger proportion to the white than a chicken egg so if you prefer that you're in luck. If you're a body builder and eat eggs for the white maybe stick to chickens. The shells are quite a bit stronger, you can drop them and they won't break and when you do crack them open the yolk rarely bursts because it has a thicker membrane to protect it. There's really no reason other than the fact we're used to chicken eggs that we don't eat them and its a pity because if we did the price would be cheaper cent for cent - there's much less wastage. Unlike chicken eggs where I always feel I need at least 2 to make it a worthwhile breakfast you only need the one. Give them a go you'd be surprised I bet someone in your wider neighborhood has them.

She was a trooper by laying a clutch of eggs and sitting on them. Dad felt bad and was going to put some chicken eggs under her so she could hatch something, but he never did.

When I was a kid, many years ago, we lived in a rural area where there were many small farms. One of them raised a few dozen turkeys and had turkey eggs for sale. My folks bought a number of turkey eggs and everything in this video described them perfectly. We used them in meals where we would normally use chicken eggs and they did have a slightly richer taste. I liked them and was always glad to see them arriving at our house. These days, we have a neighbor who raises some domestic turkeys. Last year, a wild turkey hen showed up and mated with one of her Toms. That resulted in seeing her strutting around our rural neighborhood, followed by 9 or 10 chicks. It was amazing at just how fast they grew! We see and hear them from time to time and they seem to be used to being around people.

When I was a kid, my father always bought a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas directly from the farm. He would pick a live turkey and the farmer would decapitate it and hang it to drain the blood for an hour before it was brought home. The turkey would then be plucked and cleaned at home. During that process, several eggs were often discovered within. Dad always saved the eggs and enjoyed them for breakfast the next morning. The rest of the family never indulged in the eggs. They were Dad's treat for the hard work of plucking, cleaning and cooking the turkey. We never said grace at the table without giving a special "thank you" to the turkey.

I'd like to put my two cents worth in. First I have eaten turkey duck goose and chicken eggs. Some of the flavour has to do with their diet but overall I would say the chicken eggs are the mildest. Second turkeys if you only have a few love to follow you around the yard because they really attached to you. Third I've had turkey set clutches on me and because sometimes some of the moms will all in the same nest I've had a turkey hen hatch up to maybe 20 babies although I've rarely seen them survive in that amount. I supplement my birds with a little bit of grain but very little most of the stuff they get they get around the yard bugs grass and so on. So they're not that expensive to raise because they pretty much raised themselves. Luckily there's always enough rescue dogs around here to keep the coyotes and foxes at bae. I have had all's take for the younger ones off their roofs at night when they Roost in the trees as they would prefer to be outside when it's warm rather than back into the coop. If you wish to raise turkeys get the smaller bronze ones they are very Hardy to survive and they will lay clutches of eggs for you for example I have had good luck with the Artesian gold. Good luck everybody and I love this little presentation thank you for doing it

When I was a kid in the 50s we raised turkeys(up to 4000 a year) almost as a crop as demand was very seasonal. We “planted” the eggs in an incubator in the spring and shipped them out (frozen and ready to cook) in the fall. We never ate the eggs whole but angel food cake from turkey egg whites was a staple on the table. I didn’t appreciate that angel food cake was somewhat special until years later.

The hen collecting the eggs before sitting on them, rather than sitting on them from the day they are laid, prevents having a situation where the older chicks bully those that are a few days younger than they are. This way, they all hatch at about the same time, so no one has a big advantage in a fight.

The biggest problem I found is having big enough cartons to hold the eggs. They don't fit normal egg cartons. I did find that they make a great protein supplement for my chickens during molting(moulting) season. When a chicken molts, they stop laying eggs because their body concentrates the protein on building feathers instead of eggs. Adding more protein to their diet helps ease the process and they'll keep laying eggs. Yes, I feed them scrambled eggs. I also bake and pulverize the shells into a powder and infuse it with the scrambled eggs to help the chickens lay eggs with harder shells.

I tried recently a turkey egg which I got at my local West Hollywood Farmers Market. The vendor told me that they don’t have that many turkeys as compared to chickens and the turkeys lay fewer eggs. The vendor also sells blue eggs, a chicken variety, delicious and more nutritious, occasionally duck eggs, quail eggs, and sometimes goose eggs. They all taste pretty similar. I happen to like variety in my food. My favorite are the blue chicken eggs. I think they’re worth the money.

They say the same thing about duck eggs...for a couple years, when i was a kid, we had more ducks than chickens, and the chicken eggs were sold to the neighbours...which meant that we ate duck eggs. A lot. And used them for cooking. A lot. Way better than chick eggs, except for the shell, especially for baking...whatever it is that eggs do for cakes and quiche and bread, ducks do it better than chickens. My Mum was a victim of her own marketing...every neighbour that was appalled at the thought of eating a duck egg was finally convinced to try them...and then they prefered those to chicken eggs. So, we were back to eating the chicken eggs and selling the duck eggs. Of course, all of this was contrary to Agriculture Canada regs.

They raise Turkey's too, no mention of them eating the eggs. They sell the turkey offspring at auctions. One of these days I'm going to try some turkey eggs, but living in the city, I'm sure it will be difficult to find any locally.

We used to raise turkeys when I was a kid and the eggs are fine for eating, though they do taste a little different than chicken eggs to me. They have a slightly thicker texture when cooked and are a bit richer than standard store-bought chicken eggs. Very good for baked goods though. Guineafowl also produce excellent eggs that are very rich and good for baking cakes and bread.

When I was a teen we obtained a few baby Pekin ducks on our farm. A while later, two began laying eggs. My grandmother had always said duck eggs were superior for angel food cakes. I saved a dozen(we had been cooking with them) and brought them to her, and she said that she hadn't seen a dozen duck eggs in 40 years. She made an angel food cake with them, and a yellow cake to use the yolks. I'll admit that angel food cake was remarkably fluffy, but the yellow cake was amazing. Nearly all the eggs had two yolks. I always wondered if that had to do with the duck breed. Roast duck is delish too, my grandmother was expert at that, too. I like ducks, they're multi use.

QUICK ANSWER ... Turkey are seasonal layers. They do not lay enough eggs to cover the cost of maintaining the turkey. Most turkey eggs are hatched because meat is more valuable. I sell turkey eggs... Usually as hatching eggs because most people don't want to pay the $6 per egg price tag just to eat it. BTW... Eggs are fresh because they are gathered daily by me. Not collected by the turkey.

We put it in the incubator and my wife is holding the chick as we speak. I named him Roady. The next day after finding that egg, my dad finds another. He is pipping right now. Guess I will call him Broady. Broady and Roady. I dont know what the laws are on hatching wild eggs but I dont really care either. Something is alive now that would have got squashed by a car. We are going to bond with the chicks and treat them like farm dogs same as we do our geese. Hoping I got two bucks, but getting a female would be great too. More babies!

When I asked why not turkey eggs, the cook appeared to be shocked that someone would ask that. In a turkey only restaurant!

Just market them right. Call them free range and put a big price tag on them. All the rich people will want them.

In the 50's my parents bought boxes of turkey eggs from a local turkey farm. The shells were thick but worth the work. The eggs were very large and on a regular the yolks were either double and sometimes triple yolk. Our cakes were big and fluffy and omelette light and fluffy. My parents are alive well. That was good eating

I had a turkey lay 2 eggs in my yard. One egg was a soft/leathery egg the other egg was still warm when I picked it up. I put it in an incubator and it "almost" hatched. It was an old incubator and not very stable and the temperature went up to 103 the last couple of days before hatching....and killed the poult.... 😒 maybe next spring we'll get another !

I used to buy and enjoy turkey eggs when I lived near the St. Jacob’s Market in Kitchener, Ontario. Two turkey eggs made enough scrambled eggs for my kids, and we all enjoyed them hard boiled, like chicken eggs. Not much difference but for the size. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

Wouldn't they make the most kick-ass deviled eggs of all time? You could probably share them. I'd like to serve them to guests just to see their eyes bug out.

Lack of industry is what it comes down to. Agriculture specializes. We raise beef cows for beef, dairy cows for milk, laying hens for eggs and at a different facility, chickens for meat. Turkeys are raised for meat but we lack large scale facilities that raise turkey's for eggs. That leaves your family farms that raise turkeys and share eggs with family and friends.

I've wondered about this too! When my turkey started laying, it was the first time seeing a turkey egg. I'd always kept chickens, and have inly had a couple of toms in the past. I was too afraid to eat the turkey eggs, but on Thanksgiving I was making a pumpkin pie, but had run out of eggs...except for a lone turkey egg. So i used it, and the pie was good! (My turkey was probably glad it was only her egg that got used on Thanksgiving 😂). I'm still shiddish about just scrambling them up and eating them, but my kids like them. I just cant get past the prehistoric, dinosaur look of them, lol. 😂

Ain’t that the pits? Why are city people like that about country folk? I bet it’s jealousy. When they put aside the ridiculous notion that country people are any more likely to be “backwards” or mean than any other group… the fact is, living among nature is idyllic to many people compared to a city full of crime and pollution. I grew up in the country too, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time living in the city as well, but both places have their pluses and minuses.

I eat hard boiled (chicken) eggs almost every morning at work. With Thanksgiving approaching, this morning I happen to think “I wonder why nobody sells turkey eggs?” Then I get home and this video came up on KZbin. Thanks for answering my question!
