to ask a silly question related to christmas

[AuntiePickleBottom]

but why don't we eat turkey eggs.

I have no idea but maybe turkeys dont lay eggs as often as chickens?

A parent of one of my class shot a wild turkey on their farm. When they went to prepare it they found it was a female full of eggs. So everyone has omlettes for breakfast!
Sorry doesn't answer your question.

Goodness, that's made me think.

I don't think I've ever seen a turkey egg for sale anywhere - or eaten one!

Duck eggs & the like yes but..............

Maybe they all have to be left to hatch out into turkeys so there are enough to go round by the time Xmas comes. he he!

I've seen them for sale in farm shops.

Found this on google...

"Most turkeys are raised for meat production, and they have been bred for large breasts. According to the veg soc website, the male turkeys now have such large breasts that it is impossible to breed turkeys naturally.

Also, most turkeys are slaughtered between 12 and 26 weeks of age. The experiments with breeding turkey eggs seemed to start with hens that were 31 weeks of age. So, they aren't old enough to lay any eggs."
