No one around here makes such idiotic claims. I have been known to educate local idiots. There have been some on eBay that are as bad including the one who was selling hatching eggs for the Patriot turkey.

Ralphie, it sounds like your cute lil poult is okay... I hope so! When I want a better look at things I often use my phone camera and zoom in. Or I use the goofy glasses I got DH for working on teensy springs and pins and stuff. Those would probably scare the little guy, tho. They’re pretty weird.

I am afraid “baldy” is blind in the right eye. The eye looks under developed.

That is my guess... I did not see it for a couple years. Until this one.. which will never breed now,


I think I mentioned my concern the day it was hatched . Then managed to talk myself into it being normal.. but watching him in the new pen convinced me otherwise.
