How long does it take before baby turkeys can fly?

How many eggs does a wild hen turkey lay?
Turkeys lay from early spring to early summer, a span of about 4 months. During that time the turkey will lay 12-18 eggs and then sit on them. If you collect their eggs they will continue to lay, eventually producing an average of 1 egg every 2 days for a possible total of 80-100 eggs. Most people who breed turkeys collect the eggs and hatch them to maximize the number of turkey poults produced.
Springtime would be my guess-when they are in "heat" or have young ones.
I agree only because they are breeding. However if you are hunting wild turkey, or if they are in your yard eating up your garden, if your state gives out prediter permits, then try not to kill the only tom you see. He may be the one that will give the hens offspring.
Like any wild meat, make sure you cook it well.
