INCUBATION OF TURKEY EGGS 



modate approximately three-fourths as many turkey eggs 

 as it will hens' eggs. 



A good idea of the size of turkey eggs can be secured 

 from the following weights of eggs laid by Bronze fe- 

 males in a well-bred flock. The medium-sized eggs 

 weighed 2% Ibs. per dozen, while the smaller eggs 

 weighed 2j^lbs. per dozen. Eggs from a good-sized 

 pullet weighed 2^/2 Ibs. per dozen and eggs from a 25- 

 pound hen, one of the largest in the flock, weighed 3 Ibs. 

 per dozen. As compared with this, average sized hens' 

 eggs weigh i l / 2 Ibs. per dozen.
