Breeding/Life Cycle:
Turkey Vulture Nests:
The turkey vulture nests on the ground and in caves. It does not construct a traditional "nest," but rather scratches out an indentation in the soil. Vulture nests are often found in abandoned barns and sheds, which provide safe hiding places similar to a cave of hollowed log.
Breeding:
Turkey vultures can raise only one brood a year, consisting of 1 to 3 (but usually 2) blotchy-looking eggs. Both parents share the responsibilities of incubating and caring for the brood.
Young are covered in pure white down, and have dark grey faces.
Incubation:
The eggs incubate for 38 to 41 days. Both parents share the reponsibilities of incubation.
Life Cycle
Young fledge 70 to 80 days after hatching. Immature fledgelings still have darker heads, and can be confused with the black vulture, from a distance.

Baby Turkey Vulture

turkey vultures are birds, and so are not ever pregnant. They lay eggs just like all birds. A clutch of two eggs takes 38 to 41 days to incubate (the parent birds sit on the eggs in the nest), and the young vultures fledge (fly from the nest) after 70 to 77 days. They stay with their parents for the migration south, then usually go their own way in the spring.

the link I gave you is for black vultures, but they are very closely related to turkey vultures.
