A DIFFERENT SORT OF EGG HUNT

A Plateau team member came up on this turkey egg nest on a client's property near Seward Junction. A turkey hen lays about 10 or 11 eggs (known as a clutch), and it takes her about two weeks to lay them. The incubation period is 28-days. Turkey breeding season is always a time to take particular care on tractors and in brush management. Future native Texas birds are not only waiting to be born up in the trees, they're also down on the ground.
