We are all familiar with the chicken egg. In fact if you can ever get them right off the farm, like they were layed that day or yesterday, they are better. They are different.I know from experience, I also know if you hard boil them they are practically impossible to peel. My quick theory is that the inside mass of the egg shrinks in time, and by the time it hits the grocery store, it is old enough to have shrunk.

That's only chicken eggs. People eat other types of eggs, ostrich, duck, goose, and rumor has it that people even eat sparrow eggs, bluejay eggs, robin eggs, all sorts of them.

However I have never heard of anyone eating turkey eggs. Is there a reason for this ?

They're ugly and kinda scary? Maybe they only lay eggs every now and again, instead of everyday? Hmmmm. Not sure. You know how to tell if a chicken egg is cooked or not? Spin it. The cooked eggs spin much faster than the raw ones.

I have never had a problim boiling and peeling a fresh layed chicken egg. and, as much as possible, I raise my own. They do tend to seem somewhat richer then store bought eggs though and they have a much deeper color to the yokes. Ducks, on the other hand, only lay there eggs in the spring and only about a half dozen or so before they stop for the year; I figure they are closer to the wild then your average chicken so haven't lost there natural cycle. We have a number of Turkey farms around here and I have always wanted to try there eggs but never had the chance so far. I did have a chance a couple of years back as I had bought a young hen turkey and raised it. Ity was almost old enopugh to start producing when a wild dog got into her pen and turned HER into a meal. Needless to say, I introduced that dog to "Mr Mossburg" real quick.

Alton brown covered this on his good eats program..

there is considerably more water in a chicken egg then a turkey egg.
so when you try to cook a turkey eggs it becomes extremely rubbery and tough to eat..
you can cook them .. but you will regret trying to eat them they may bounce away
