Yup, Sorry to say but your Tom is a hen.. My main Tom, Bruce my half wild half black Spanish, Isn't even a year old and looks like this
Have you tried looking on craigslist? All of my turkeys are free ranged and I barely feed them.. They go wherever they want and forage all day and mature pretty quickly.
You have a Tri-Color Mottled Black tom. You cannot make a Tri-Color Mottled Black by crossing a Bronze (wild turkey) and a Black turkey. As he ages he will get more white spots every year.Yup, Sorry to say but your Tom is a hen.. My main Tom, Bruce my half wild half black Spanish, Isn't even a year old and looks like this
As others have pointed out, all three of your turkeys are hens. Hens can and do display just like toms especially if there is no tom around. I have found that my turkey hens are more likely to take issue with roosters than my toms will.
It was? Huh, Maybe you could buy some hatching eggs online or ask around locally like at a feed store or at a 4-H?
The people I got him from had told me that his parents were both half black and half wild.. Perhaps I miss heard? Or possible they didn't know.. Either way i'm still pretty happy with him. He sure is beautiful whatever he is..
