Do female turkeys reproduce without a mate?

Yes, female turkeys can reproduce without a mate. This process is known as parthenogenesis, and it occurs when an unfertilized egg develops into a viable embryo. Parthenogenesis is rare in turkeys, but it has been documented in several cases. In one study, researchers found that approximately 1% of unfertilized turkey eggs developed into embryos. These embryos were able to hatch and develop into normal adult turkeys.
