Turkeys

I don't know exactly, but I've almost hit dozens of them and they seem to get out of the way of my car every time.

It is estimated that they can reach a top speed of 25 mph.

A 5.5 kg turkey should feed about 12 people. A 5.5 kg turkey weight about 12 pounds, and there should be a pound per person.

Turkeys are most likely to be seen feeding from dawn until mid-morning and again around mid-afternoon. Turkeys are especially easy to see on rainy days as they are more likely to venture into open fields.

about 2 feet long i love max

a small turkey! I think......

it depends on the breed if it is a heritage breed it should be around a year if its a commercial production breed it should be no more than 4 months old.

A 21 pound turkey should feed approximately 21 adults. There should be 1 pound of turkey should be cooked for each adult.

I have read on their official website as well as multiple blog posts that Jenny-O turkeys are not treated with hormones or steroids. They may be given antibiotics but there is a federally regulated amount of time after they are administered that must pass before the birds can be slaughtered, preventing any antibiotics from remaining in the meat.

Birds have three eyelids.
Yes. They don't show a lot but you can see them blink and they are closed when they sleep.

Usually the breeds that are used for meat because they are usually growing faster and bigger than a normal turkey.

If by "Fat Balls" you mean that suet concoction to hang in a tree to help birds feed in the winter, then: tell your local butcher (supermarket meat cutter) that you would like suet to feed to birds. Great to do this on Thurs or Fri afternoon when they are preparing meat for sale over the weekend. At that time, or before, buy some fresh vegetable that comes in a mesh bag (like those tomatoes on a vine) If plastic is not what you want to use, you can purchase cheese cloth. The short version is to plunk the raw suet into the plastic mesh bag, snip some minor holes in the mesh, and hang it from a tree limb. Please note, even in winter the suet may melt in sunny conditions -- so don't hang it over your patio, over the dog house, etc (common sense required). The deluxe version will roll the raw suet in millet seed (do not use song-bird mixture because you will have thistles forever) and I guess the super-deluxe version melts the suet, adds seed and chills it in cheese cloth in the shape of a ball.

The pouch on the front of a Turkey's area is called a wattle.

Yes, female turkeys fan their feathers to get rid of dust, mites and parasites.

A turkey under 16 weeks is called a fryer.

yes a male turkey struts to attract females or to run off other makes

In the animal world the male are always more colorful and smaller. Females have less color and bigger. I imagine that is so with a turkey.

It's called a Wattle and it is only on the boy turkeys!!

yea i guess if they are kept warm and are put under the right circumstances

yes you can hatch wild turkey eggs but they must be kept at a constant temperature of 99 degrees and for at least 28 days so if you are planning on it you definitely need a incubator. also it is illegal in most states to remove or have wild turkeys or turkey eggs so check your state laws before you try this or you could be in for some very costly problems

No, turkey is not healthier than chicken because you shoudn't eat turkey.
