How soon do turkeys lose their egg tooth?

Turkeys typically lose their egg tooth, a small, temporary structure on the tip of their beak that helps them break out of the egg, within the first few days after hatching. This tooth generally falls off within 24 to 48 hours as the turkey poult begins to adapt to its environment. The loss of the egg tooth is a natural part of their development and does not impact their ability to feed or thrive.
