Turkeys

A group of young turkeys is known as a brood. Groups of adult turkeys are called a rafter or a flock.

Yes there is. After hunting for 35 years, generally pheasant, quail and grouse, I bought my first turkey license in the spring of 2008. Unfortunately I went the whole season without shooting a single turkey. Not one to give up... for the fall turkey season I prepared by purchasing decoys, calls, numerous articles of camouflage clothing, and a Franchi semi auto 12ga. w\ full choke. And then On October 23, 2008 approximately 6:30PM in the area of Ponca Hills, Nebraska I shot my first turkey. While inspecting the bird I discovered it had two beards. The large beard is about 10 inches long and 3/4th of an inch wide. The second beard is located about a quarter of an inch below the main beard and is also about 10 inches long, but is only about 3/16th of an inch wide. That's my story.

without a male turkey, the egg will not hatch.

an egg produced when no male is present is fertilized and will never hatch.

it is similar to the human females period once a month in which the unfertilized egg is removed from the body

Actually that is not true. When a turkey hatches an unfertilzed egg it is called "Parthenogenesis." When a turkey hatches out an unfertizlied egg the majority of poults will be toms.

OK Yes male turkeys appear to incubate eggs.I thought it strange at first but my adult stag does sit very carefully on eggs!I have heard of it before but did not really believe it until i saw with my own eyes!

This question can be ansewered in 6 simple words........ HOW THE HECK SHOULD I KNOW

Well, appearently the eggs produced for the first nest are 12.1 average.

if a turkey is scared it will run wouldn't you?

There are 16 ounces in a pound. This means that in every pound of ground turkey, there is 16 ounces of ground turkey.

In 2007, 271,683,000 turkeys were raised in the United States.

The red ornament on a turkey's head is called a wattle.

what is the name of a male turkey?

tom

The red thing you are referring to is called a wattle. It is not clear why turkeys have them but it is likely that they are used to attract the opposite sex and/or to scare away other male turkeys. When the male turkey gets excited the red wattle enlarges in size perhaps making it look more attractive to the opposite sex and scary to the same sex. This is similar to an erect cock on a human male, as the increase in blood flow helps attract mates while scaring off other males. Not much information about turkey wattles can be found. Hope this helps.

The wattle helps to cool the turkey. The bright red area has blood flow close to the surface and as it is not covered by feathers it gets cooler faster. Turkeys do not sweat.

brb i wanted some answers but nooooo u had to be lazy!

Okay, here's a list that I came up with:

It depends on what he is used for and his personality, have fun naming him!

25 mph

The males gobbles and the female makes a clicking sound.

I'm 9 and I absolutely LOVE answering questions so I'm gonna take a guess and say its a chicken.

A delicious Turducken

because an animal which is very similiar to turkey only live in turkey was seen by an foreigner and taken to his own country in there they ask what is it? then the man says its turkey (which means this one comes from turkey)

Of course. Turkeys roost in trees, which they cannot climb. If you chase a turkey, it will run, but if you get too close, it will fly, just as a chicken would. Sometimes turkeys fly across roads, but most often they walk.

Turkeys lay from early spring to early summer, a span of about 4 months. During that time the turkey will lay 12-18 eggs and then sit on them. If you collect their eggs they will continue to lay, eventually producing an average of 1 egg every 2 days for a possible total of 80-100 eggs. Most people who breed turkeys collect the eggs and hatch them to maximize the number of turkey poults produced.

Springtime would be my guess-when they are in "heat" or have young ones.

I agree only because they are breeding. However if you are hunting wild turkey, or if they are in your yard eating up your garden, if your state gives out prediter permits, then try not to kill the only tom you see. He may be the one that will give the hens offspring.

Like any wild meat, make sure you cook it well.

Mating season typically begins from March to April where male wild turkeys attract females by spreading their tails and puffing out their feathers. This behaviour is accompanied by spitting, gobbling, and drumming. When mating is finished, females lay 10-14 eggs in shallow dirt depressions. The eggs are incubated for 28 days.

The color of a turkey's neck is Red.
