Turkey eggs take 28 days to hatch. There are many different breeds of turkeys including wild and domestic birds. Minnesota, Iowa, North Carolina and California are the leading producers of domestic turkey, but nearly every state has at least one major turkey production facility. Great Britain and Canada also have large numbers of domestic turkeys. Only some turkeys can fly.
Wild turkeys are capable of flying.
Domestic turkeys cannot fly because they become too large. Wild turkeys can fly for short distances at up to 55 miles per hour. When they're not flying, they can run at speeds close to 25 miles per hour. Tom turkeys have that red thing that hangs under their chin, which is called a snood. When fully developed, it becomes quite large, plump and elastic.
