I found these 1 egg yesterday in the regular laying boxes and the other one today in the same nest my chickens use, its 1ftx1ft. I have heard turkeys do not lay in the winter, but these surely look like turkey eggs to me! they have a light in the coop, so it may be helping them. They are fed 21% layer pellep and scratch grains. If it helps they are Heritage bronze Turkeys

I'm getting three to four eggs a week from my White Midgets. Not enough to bother hatching, but a few.

IM still on the fence if I will incuabte eggs in Spring:-( Im not going to do it in the house but If I get a big fat broody hen in April ish I will do it:)​
