No. It would be impossible for a species to consist only of males, as it would be unable to reproduce. Such a species would die out in a single generation. As with all birds, turkeys reproduce sexually, require both males and females.

All store bought chickens and turkeys are female. The reason is simple. Males are disruptive in the henhouse. Males have a bigger bone structure and less meat. Males have a lower feed to meat conversion rate. Males are separated at the hatchery. Farmers / growers prefer females.

Yes. Have no idea why, but i had a female turkey that laid eggs, then one day she acted like she was sick or dying. Just sat in a corner and wouldnt move. Couple days later started walking around. Month later its got a full blown snood, struts its stuff around and mates with the females now. Strange but true
