Turkeys

A tom turkey is the male of the two genders of turkey there is female and a male, how to tell the difference is easy a tom or boy turkey will have a beard and they get the beard when they start to mature, when a boy turkey is small and has a smaller beard it is called a Jake which is kind of like a teenager. A beard is located at the center of the chest. Another way to tell the difference from a tom and a hen (full grown) is the tom will have a red head but if the tom turkey is an old turkey it will have a light blue faded head. The hens will have a white head.

There head shakes ferosiuosly and they moan like there having sex

We have had a flock of 15 turkeys in our yard every day for at least three weeks. Today something startled them and they were instantly airborne and cleared pine trees that are about 50 feet high and only about 50 yards from where they took off. They are large birds with a couple males probably weighing 18 pounds or more with 10 inch beards.

They are quite tame and they come right up to me when I go out to spread shelled corn on a cement patio. They have right up on our attached deck and look through our door wall in the family room.

A flop. A show that's not on Broadway for a very long time, often for only one night.

The turkey caruncles are located on the neck and head of the turkey. They are bulbous bumps that are significantly larger on the males as compared to females. The major caruncles are the largest ones near the bottom of the neck just above where feathers stop growing.

Turkey eggs are usually used for reproduction, being somewhat rarer than chicken eggs. Double yolked eggs, however, are not viable, and so can be sold for cooking because they are useless for making new turkeys. So while not ALL turkey eggs have two yolks, most of those that are sold for eating do. The single yolkers are hatched to create the next generation of turkeys.

Male turkeys gobble to attract female turkeys during the breeding season. Gobbling also leads to fighting over females and males wanting chase off the competition, home in on other gobbling and displaying males.

In the case of a cooked turkey (most likely for Thanksgiving) the traditional filling is usually some type of stuffing. However, virtually any filling can be used depending upon what the cook chooses.

why would you want to know that? you're sick : (

Reply: This is the response of a person who is having his/her own issues with "sick." Perhaps the original questioner saw the Palin interview with the turkey slaughter going on in the background, and wondered about the process. If this is correct, then the question was asked, not because the questioner is "sick," but because he/she is troubled at the images and needed emotional clarification of what he/she witnessed. I might turn around the question on the person who gave the original answer and observe that you must be sick to make such a unwarranted and slanderous accusation.

it is a cruel process. if you really want to know go look it up on u tube or the American humane society web site and look up chicken slaughter houses it is the same process.

Reply: This is a reasonably good reply to a troubling question. However, before we jump into deep water that condemns all slaughter--simply because there is no such thing as pleasant slaughter--let us consider that what is distasteful to many of us, loses that distastefulness when it is grilled, roasted, fried, or otherwise prepared for consumption. It is true that all slaughter is, from the perspective of most people, unpleasant, to charge that all slaughter is "cruel" is like arguing that all blacks eat watermelon or that all Russian women are muscular wrestlers. However, I also suggest that "Google is your friend"--as is Bing.
