I'm about to ask the stupidest question of all time! What's that thing that's where wattles are on a chicken called on a turkey? I know the snood, but is it called the wattle??? I wondered about that earlier while I was rubbing Mr. Turkey there. He REALLY liked it, and fell asleep and everything :-D I have researched all about turkeys, and thought I was well educated. Then, one of the simplest things, has me stumped, lol!
Here's a pic of his back, he's very pretty. I've been working on getting him cleaner. He's very tame, and walks right up to me. When I set him in my lap he lays down and loves being petted :-D
Here's his ugly...I mean...beautiful
head, with the mysterious wattle thing.
He loves the camera. He walks around like a peahen. I've yet to see him strut, but I have heard him gobble so I'm confident he's a tom (this is the only time I'd be horrified to get a hen, lol!) the breeder said they could tell, but after meeting them and seeing the poor turkey's living conditions I wasn't so confident in them anymore
But he does gobble, and I've heard that's like crowing for turkeys
And, standing up tall. Anyone know why his face changes from bright red to pink repeatedly? Is it a mood thing? He seems to get brighter when he's startled.
