This is the turkey with the bitten-off snood. I'm guessing she's a hen since my DS says he saw our bronze standing on and around her while biting her snood. How romantic. I then watched 'her' lay down while the tom stood on her, stood off her, stood on her, stood off her, and on and on. She was very patient. He didn't do the deed, though.
Here's the bitten-off snood, and the unicorn horn that is now growing from it.
When I gobbled and whistled at her today, she reddened everywhere on the snood except the weird projection part. Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?
Both turkeys were purchased at the feed store on June 11th, so they're three months old.
At what age will they actually mate successfully?
But more importantly, can anyone tell me if this is a hen or tom, and is she/he a Royal Palm, or a White (as the feed store said) or an accidental mix?
Thank you!
