A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

WHAT DID TURKEY DIE FROM????????

Did I miss the answer?
Well I was going to go back and multi-quote everyone, but I'm so far behind now I'll just post here...

What killed her was hardware disease, septicemia from hardware disease and probably renal gout from hardware disease.

Her necropsy revealed free floating food and pus in her abdominal cavity. This piece of plastic fence/netting was in her proventriculas and her proventriculas had ruptured in two places. Quarter is shown to provide scale.

I mentioned her gizzard was squishy, it also had a strange growth on it.

In that growth was a needle surrounded by pus! I'm guessing that she swallowed the needle and it exited the gizzard.

The moral of this story is that turkeys like children will eat anything that they are not supposed to eat.

She is really looking like a Sweetgrass. The only difference between a Sweetgrass and a Royal palm is that a Sweetgrass (b1b1 cgcg NN or N-) does not have the Narragansett color gene (n) and a Royal palm does have it (b1b1 cgcg nn or n-)

The nice thing about this is because she is a hen, she cannot be carrying a hidden Narragansett gene. In hens, they can only have one of the sex linked genes such as Narragansett (n) so it only takes the presence of one to cause the trait to be expressed. If she was instead a male, it would be possible for him to carry the Narragansett gene (Nn) without it being expressed.
