There's a turkey in my yard
They've been sitting in the yard since at least Saturday. I know nothing about hatching eggs! How do you know if they are even good? -
There's a turkey in my yard
OK, have not seen the bird yet, today. Figures...Great-Nephews from the "city" are here for the day, and we can't find it. They did help me take some pics of the eggs. If the consensus is pheasant, perhaps I should go to the "Pheasants and Partridge" forum? I would hate to leave you "Turkey"... -
There's a turkey in my yard
Thank you all, for all your help. I saw the pics of the Chukars. I do not see any indication of red beak or legs on mine, though. I am now leaning toward a pheasant. I did go out and got about a foot and a half from it. It would let me get no closer, but did not run-just walked under the pine... -
There's a turkey in my yard
Oh yeah, still here. The weather is cool and drizzly. It was sitting atop my potato mound, puffed up like a little soccer ball. Other than that, just strutting around, pecking at the ground, and the raspberry bushes. Neighbor suggested a Guinea hen? I just do not know! I'll have to see if I... -

There's a turkey in my yard
When we first saw it, its neck seemed longer, and it is pecking and strutting around like a chicken/turkey. I guess I will wait a couple of days, and see if it changes more. Should I feed It? I do not want to put it back over the fence, until the construction is finished( unless it goes by... -

This one Hubby took Saturday, with his phone. Should I post this elsewhere on this forum? I thought it was a turkey. -
There's a turkey in my yard
I am in Southeast Michigan. Hubby took pics Saturday. Waiting for him to send them to me. The bird is changing daily. Looks like it is turning darker. -
There's a turkey in my yard
It seems like the size of a small chicken. 12-15" head to tail, about 8" from ground to top of back. I am trying to post another picture. -
There's a turkey in my yard
Hello, We live in a rural, but not farming area. Four days ago, we found what we think is a young white turkey in our back yard. Our yard is fenced, but there are 2 holes along the back, at the bottom(dug by our past dog). It doesn't seem to belong to any of our neighbors. There is heavy...
