How often do turkeys lay eggs?

Published in Animal Biology 1 min read

A hen turkey lays one egg approximately every 24 to 32 hours.

Typically, a wild turkey hen will lay a clutch of nine to thirteen eggs, taking about two weeks to complete the laying process. This means she's laying an egg nearly every day during that period.

The hen carefully selects a nesting site, usually a ground nest concealed in dense cover near a suitable brood habitat, such as a forest opening.
