We have a Tom Eastern turkey that we've had a few months. He's a couple of years old and was very handsome when we got him. Lately he is losing his chest feathers. He is a long gobbler on our farm and his only companions are a rooster, 4 hens and a guinea so he's not breeding anything that I'm aware of. Do they molt and if so, would he loose only his chest feathers? He's lost quite a large patch and you can see bare skin in places..... Hate to see him looking so shabby! He's a very curious fellow, gobbles up a storm and is getting tame enough to eat from your hand.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Lindsey
