9. Turkeys raised as meat animals generally
don't get to the egg laying stage and hen turkeys that do are used to produce more meat animals. In other words, the turkey eggs that do get laid go toward producing more turkeys, not food for people.

Turkeys are unsuitable for egg operations because they're so much larger and require more food than chickens do for not that much more in production.

All fowl produce edible eggs and all those eggs taste like, well, eggs. However, unless you raise backyard ducks, quail or turkeys, you're unlikely to get their eggs to sample.
