Male turkeys have a long, dark, fan-shaped tail and glossy bronze wings. As with many other species of the Galliformes, turkeys exhibit strong sexual dimorphism. The male is substantially larger than the female, and his feathers have areas of red, purple, green, copper, bronze, and gold iridescence.
Females, called hens, have feathers that are duller overall, in shades of brown and gray. Parasites can dull coloration of both sexes; in males, coloration may serve as a signal of health. The primary wing feathers have white bars. Turkeys have 5000 to 6000 feathers. Tail feathers are of the same length in adults, different lengths in juveniles. Males typically have a "beard", a tuft of coarse hair (modified feathers) growing from the center of the breast. Beards average 9 inches in length.
In some populations, 10 to 20 percent of females have a beard, usually shorter and thinner than that of the male. The adult male normally weighs from 11–24 pounds and measures 39–49 in. The adult female is typically much smaller at 5.5–12 lb and is 30–37 in long. The wingspan ranges from 49–57 in. The record-sized adult male Wild Turkey, according to the National Wild Turkey Federation, weighed 38 lb.
These hatching eggs are shipped directly from one of our trusted hatchery partners. Availability may vary based on seasonal demand, breeder production, and hatchery inventory levels.
Many hatching egg varieties have minimum order requirements established by the hatchery. Please review the product description carefully before placing your order to ensure all minimum quantity requirements are met. Orders that do not meet minimum requirements may be subject to cancellation.
Our trusted hatchery partners work hard to provide quality hatching eggs from carefully managed breeding stock, and many customers achieve excellent hatch rates and successfully hatch healthy poultry from their purchases.
Because hatch success is influenced by many factors—including shipping conditions, egg handling, storage, incubation equipment, temperature, humidity, breeder fertility, and incubation practices—we cannot guarantee fertility rates, hatch rates, or successful hatches.
As these factors are outside of our control once eggs leave the breeder, refunds, replacements, or credits cannot be provided for eggs that fail to hatch or produce lower-than-expected hatch rates.
By purchasing hatching eggs, the buyer acknowledges and accepts the inherent risks associated with incubating poultry eggs.
