Mine are heavy tight footballs. Nothing scrawny about them
All are not equal

Yeah, not all strains are equal I get it. I am saying on average the reason Americans are better survivors is because they are lighter built.

Americans in part have better feathering. Many solid American lines are also less likely to be inbreed when compared to oriental that were imported in small numbers.

Still do not rule out nutrition or a health issue.

 

[Bigtom Turkey]

Yeah, the feathering is a big deal too.

Oh nah they'll be black. I never really worried about color. If they don't that's cool too. They're all crossed with something. 2 of his sisters looked just like redquill as chicks. Someone down the line infused redquill. Which I think would make a great cross. Add speed to the kelso Thump.
I had some pucs of the throwbacks but can't find it guess I deleted it
