Turkey eggs?



Looking out the front window this morning, I saw a large white object in the grass that I though was a piece of paper or debris from the high winds recently. It was raining a bit, so I was in no hurry to inspect it.

Then when driving off to an errand, I was what was clearly an large egg. I investigated, and sure enough an egg larger than any chicken egg ever. And the thing in the front yard was another egg 25 feet away from the first egg. We have seen a turkey hen in the area a few times in recent days. Maybe a racoon or some critter found them and ate them in our yard. There are no turkey nests in our yard.

There was no evidence of a yolk, or the egg whites. I was wondering if they were hatched eggs. Where do turkeys normally lay eggs? I assume on the ground, but I would think the hen would be sitting on the eggs, and we don't see the turkey but just occasionally.

We live in a suburban neighborhood with people walking dogs, and out and about regularly. It is not like a sparrow nest that can be hard to see.

Just a mystery where two eggs came from out in the front of the house. Mystery of the day.
