I always read all the signs anytime we go anywhere

We just went for a nice nature walk last week and I was reading the sign about the history of the pond and the beavers in it and the other wildlife

There are no beavers in The Pond. The Python ate all of them.

Awww! I’ll take them!

I wonder sometimes if they have some bobcat in them. They don't have normal cat eyes. They're grey and have oval pupils, not slits.

Last picture reminded me of an electrocuted Cornish X.

It was a Frizzle Cochin Bantam. I gave it away shortly thereafter to the daughter of a customer buying turkey poults. She was also gifted a Light Brahma cockerel that thought it should be a pet.

They do look a lot like bobcats! Bob tails and they’re huge and everything! Super unique!

This was it's sire.

Is the one in the back longhaired?

For sure it was the result of vegetative reproduction. No sex involved.

True.
Technically in Europe they have turkey breeds.

It does not matter where they are, all turkeys are so closely related that other than the Ocellated turkey, they are just one breed. There is far more diversity in chickens than there is in turkeys.

Sorry

Technically there’s only one breed of turkey but people think the separate varieties are breeds like chickens and ducks.

Ok let me think this through. So there is only one breed of chicken: a chicken. Howver there are many varieties of chickens: Buff Orpingtons, RIRS, Easter Eggers, etc. Same with ducks, and turkeys. Ok...that makes sense.
