A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

This is the clearest picture I have of the head, it doesn't sit still much! Does this help at all? If not, I'll try for another one. There is no beard showing and so far can't feel the start of one, but I wasn't sure if this comes later on. Those feathers are on the chest right? I'm such a turkey newbie - I was comparing it to narragansett pictures and couldn't find one that looked like it at all. Then the sun hit the feathers and there was such a pretty metallic reddish color that I though maybe bronze?

Hen..
At 16 weeks that snood would be way bigger....Look back at the pictures charmedbaker posted of her tom.

Way off the topic, but raise a glass and toast yourselves! (or us, which ever is grammatically correct.)

We are listed as the third most active thread for the last 24 hours! An active thread means great people that like to talk turkey!

Grats to us!

Thanks for the help identifiying my little mystery! I'm thrilled that she's a she. She's such a sweet girl (and my first turkey).

And congrats to us for chatting so much

I will raise my coffee in a cheers!

Ralph, I don't wish to see you dole out false information and be humiliated amongst all the good people of the 3rd most active thread...
I just like to chuckle when you are wrong. Especially since you added your byline about all the boorish people.

On the topic of FeistyChick's mystery turkey, I agree with bronze. You can also see spur bumps on their legs by that age. At least with mine I could. That should help you figure out gender.
With the smaller snood though, Dinner has a smallish snood. Doesn't hang past his beak at all. But he has spur bumps and gobbles. And likes to strut by anything that moves.

I'll go get a recent pic of the babies.
