    Is it normal for Turkens to be this large at 4 weeks?

    I have the same question. 3.5 weeks ago I got them. They are huge. What’s wierd is the turkens our TSC have been getting also have ones that don’t have naked necks. They look like meat birds but labeled turkens. Are they trying to make turken meat birds??
