Adult Male Turkey

[chickenlove<3]

I'm new to raising turkeys, and only have one at the moment. He is a male about 7 months old, and seems to be full grown. He seems to always be puffed up like a male turkey in pictures, and I was unsure if he will just naturally be like this all the time now that he is mature, or if he is sick. Any info is great!

CONGRATS YOU HAVE A HEALTHY YOUNG TOM He is of breeding age or at least around breeding age now. Hell be like this off and on during the breeding season ( when the days start to get longer) until til he passes on . Hes showing off, and would LOVE the company of a young hen GOOD LUCK

awesome! so it's normal for him to be like that like almost every time I see him? because it used to be occasional but now it's constantly...
