Mean turkey

I think the blue color makes them think about whether it's a competing tom. I get my gamebird starter in blue bags (Prince brand) and the royal blue really gets them going. The tom struts and challenges it, the hen squats for A BAG OF FOOD. The color is hardwired for a response, I guess. Even an empty Pepsi can would probably work.
 
Wow! That's pretty neat. But goes to show that a lot of domesticated turkeys are just not too bright, ha ha! My mom always warned us to get the younger turkeys inside if it was starting to rain...she said they'd look up at the sky with their mouths open and either get sick or drown!
 
That's an old myth.

But fascination or obsession doesn't mean they are dumb, why do some people obsess over jewelry?
 
I have same problem with my tom I have him separated from the two females because she is so large I'm afraid he's going to hurt him when he mates. I go into the pan to feed him and the girls if there wasn't a fence between me and him he flies up against the fence with his feet and Spurs. He's also chased me out of the pen before running at me.

That is so funny!

I went to see if they had any eggs for me today wearing a blue top and my BR was challenging me! He has never done that before. I guess I won't wear blue out there.
