or are turkeys mammals and give birth to live baby turkeys?

Why are turkey eggs not available in the shops?
Turkey eggs are not available on a commercial scale simply because there is very little demand. They are also expensive to mass-produce. Turkey hens lay an average of 4.5 eggs per week over 24 weeks. Although the runny yolk is not ideal for frying, turkey eggs are delicious scrambled and particularly lend themselves to baking for an extra fluffy texture! Many farms sell eggs at the farm gate to local shoppers.

Yes I too have tried Turkey eggs.
It is a bit bizarre when you fry one and it takes up most of a frying pan. They taste juste like normal eggs too rather than duck eggs which can be really fishy.
But turkeys seem to be more natural in their habits and produce eggs in the spring and early summer whereas hens have long been bred to constantly produce eggs all the year round.
I could be wrong on this but this is what I was told when I was presented with a couple of turkey eggs!
