Cecil replies: Barnyard economics, babe. Turkeys don't lay that many eggs, and the ones they do lay are used to produce more turkeys. The average egg-laying chicken lays 300 or so eggs per year, while the average turkey produces only 100 to 120. Chickens come into production at 19 to 20 weeks of age, but turkeys don't get cranking until 32 weeks. Turkeys are also much larger, averaging 16 to 17 pounds compared to 3.5 pounds for chickens.
How many eggs does a chicken lay per day? I am starting an allotment with my uncle. He claims that a vet has been giving him information about keeping chickens, but he's also a habitual liar. Anyway, I had read that chickens lay only one egg per day. My uncle says that one chicken can lay up to eight. Can anyone not only answer this question, but... show more I am starting an allotment with my uncle.
