My mother grew up in the depression, and she was lucky enough to have an uncle who had a farm, and they got food from them gratis when times were tough.

One of those generous foodstuffs was...Turkey eggs.

Throughout her life, when the subject came up, her face would screw up in disgust at the taste and smell of cooking Turkey eggs.

I have never had any, but she did, and to her, even the thought of eating one was enough to make her blanch...so I doubt they taste the same.

But they probably taste better than bugs!

I eat turkey eggs... they are delicious and stay fresh a lot longer.

They also don’t poop in the nest like. chickens occasionally do, so the eggs are really clean.

How much selective breeding did it take to get chickens to lay eggs all year instead of just breeding season like most birds? Or did their ancestors came from the tropics so season doesn’t matter as much.

That’s exactly right. They descended from the jungles of Asia

Chickens are descendants of Jungle Fowl

So they had warm weather all year round in most places.................

How about rabbit eggs? They are plentiful and can be used for turkey stuffing.

We used to eat them on the farm growing up. They have a richer taste and I did not like them as much as chicken eggs.

Our chickens didn’t lay nearly as many eggs in the colder months.

Never had turkey eggs. I have eaten pigeon eggs. They taste the same as chicken eggs.
