If a turkey gobbler is present, and the eggs are forbidden before they are gathered, the eggs may be fertilized and eventually hatch into chicks. Chicks will grow into adults in 1 year. |

Turkeys take two years to reach their full weight, while the slightly smaller {{L|blue peafowl}} and {{L|goose|geese}} take only one year. On average, turkey hens will lay the most eggs of any domestic poultry. This makes them a good choice for {{L|egg production}}. |
