Yelp is correct.

How long will a hen sit on her eggs before they hatch.

More or less about 26 days. But that doesn't mean she set's them all the time. She will leave the nest to feed during the day.

OK lets just throw this out.
I have seen turkey hunter's do they're best to run a bird down.   :IBCOOL:

So just how fast can a turkey run?

For short bursts a turkey can max out at 18 mph!

25 mph  is how fast they run along side of my truck one day?  Fast like a Guinea hen running thought the Savannah eating grasshoppers!   :chuckle:

Two Questions:  How many eggs does a hen turkey lay in a day and what is the average clutch size?

Slayer, Did the limb break or did you jump roost??   :chuckle:

One egg is laid daily until a clutch averaging 9 to 11 eggs is completed.   :hello:

My question is does this vary by subspecies?

In a chicken ranch!  I should have clarified and said during the nesting period.  That's a lot of omelets!   :) 

Maybe those Utah longbeards I hear they got lots of poults!  LOL
