Before we all the types of the birds that we have now, I always wondered if all of their eggs tasted different. However, they do not really vary in flavor, only in the size of the egg and color of the shell. Chicken eggs are the smallest, and ours are white and from breese chickens. They have a good texture in both the whites and the yolk. The turkey eggs are the second smallest, and also second biggest, which is suprising, considering how big they are. They have basicaly the same flavor and texture of chicken eggs – Unless you attempt to turn them into golden eggs, whick is just a egg that is mixed in the egg by spinning it around, while you hope it does not make a mess, and then hard boiled.-. Duck eggs are the largest. They have the same texture and flavor of the first two types of eggs, but duck eggs have a bigger yolk than chicken or turkey eggs.

Wild Turkey
Last year, we hatched some more turkeys from eggs. One of them we thought was a brown spanish black, because it’s soft little chick fluff was brown and a bit speckled. However, it grew up and we realized what it looked like- A wild turkey hen that was hanging around our pasture a few years ago. Then we realized that the few eggs that were not speckled- our turkey eggs are speckled, and they range between dark and dense speckles to very few or none and we thought that it had just been a normal spanish black egg, but we now think that it was a wild turkey egg- from a wild turkey that flew into the pasture and layed an egg. We don’t know if it is half black spanish or a purely wild turkey, but it is definetly not a black spanish black, even if it is a spanish black!

New Turkeys
Last year, we hatched more turkeys! We did not get them from the store this time, but we actualy hatched them from eggs from our own turkeys (See: 21 tiny turkeys). And now, this year, those turkeys are starting to lay eggs! Turkey eggs look like duck eggs, with about the same size and color, but our turkeys lay speckled eggs. We also have a turkey that’s egg somehow got into the pasture (See: The next post I put out), and we think it is a wild turkey, and are also quite certain that it is a tom. The eggs tast literaly the same as any eggs- if any difference in ANY eggs, it would be the texture when cooked!
