This is actually a web copy until I can download our own pictures.
We were both surprised, though we shouldn't be, at the egg found in the nesting boxes. Soup, our turkey hen, is now laying eggs with her chicken pen mates. From what I read chickens start laying around 19 weeks of age. turkeys wait until about 32 weeks.
Guess this means I shouldn't have waited so long to process her. She greets me each morning with a waddle-run cross the pen and a few chirps. She the expects a back rub as I feed and water the "Girls."

There is no way you are going to be able to eat that turkey! Get her a husband, let them raise a family and know from the start you are going to EAT them...no names, no back scratching (save that for momma turkey...your keeper).
