Turkeys lay eggs very well for a short period
Usually between april and august my Bronze hens laid 1 a day each for this time. One hid them so I let her hatch them off. They were a great succses last year hence loads of christmas turkeys.
The eggs are just like chickens just bigger

: They taste great.

Willow I have cheked into nthe flubenvet wormer today, they stock it at TFM (telford farm machinery) as they stock all kinds of live stock medication and it is apporx £15.16 for a 240 g tub at 2.5 cocentration (as oposed to the 1% for home pultry keepers) Everyone recons you dont need to withdraw the eggs when using this and they are OK to both hatch and eat, do you agree? I may start using this for my chickens anyway.
