Turkeys

The part of the turkey that turkey tips comes from is the shoulder area. This is sometimes referred to as turkey ribs.

It depends on what animal you are talking about. Sheep, goats, cattle and pigs are usually done without anaesthesia. In pigs (with boars) most are castrated via knife and emasculator. In rams, billies and bulls there is two main options: banding or cutting. Banding simply uses a rubber O-ring band that is positioned above the testicles on the "neck" of the testes where the spermatic cord and blood vessels are located. The testes simply fall off after a while. Cutting involves using a knife to slit open the scrotum exposing the testes, and using the emasculator to crush the blood vessels and spermatic cord to speed the healing process. The emasculator kinda acts as a knife itself because it both crushes the cord and enables the person to separate the testes from the cord. Another method is to cut the cord with the knife and tie the blood vessels and cord in a knot to stop blood flow. Most vets though prefer to use the knife and emasculator method, or for young, the banding method.

With horses, anaesthesia is necessary. The knife and emasculator method is the more common and best method to use to geld or castrate stallions, as described above.

Wild turkeys hit puberty around 7 months of age.

Alaska is the only state without wild turkeys. Many people think Hawaii would not have them but Hawaii does have wild turkeys.

a turkey vulture will only attack to protect its nest from a threat. if you leave it alone there wont be any problems. there have been reports of large turkey vultures attempting to prey on small children as a source of food

No, a vulture would not kill a raccoon. However, vultures are scavengers and would eat a dead raccoon.

turkey! =) turkey! =) turkey! :-) turkey! :-)

Turkey eggs have a taste similar to chicken eggs. Some people enjoy the taste of eggs while others do not. The reason why turkey eggs are rarely seen for sale is because they are very expensive to buy and less common than chicken eggs.

please dont eat me! The traditional way of describing a turkey's sound in English is "gobble gobble."

There are a couple of ways to fix a baby turkey leg if it is broken. One way is to bandage it up.

you put the call in ur mouth with the reed side towards ur mouth, then u put it up on the roof of ur month and blow like a whistle to make sure only a little bit of air gets in so its moves the reed in the right way

Mabey a poult??

Two primary colours: blue and yellow.

It is quite obvious actually. The turkeys we imagine around Thanksgiving time are really all males.(Female turkeys are called pehens) The female turkeys are much smaller and look nothing like the male. So do not bother turning your turkey upside down and looking down there! The outside appearance is all you need to notice.

I have some wild turkeys for pets and feed them what you feed chickens and game birds. But if you just want to attract some wild ones I'd say wholecorn, birdseed , and bugs or under ground plants (hunting or sporting stores have many plants to make your turkeys happy).

any colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Like chickens, female turkeys are simply called hens. Male turkeys, on the other hand, are called toms. Baby turkeys are known as poults.

It is false. What started this saying was when baby turkeys are born, they do not have feathers. Mothers would huddle there chicks in there feathers when storms hit. The chicks would die from exposure to the weather. It started when farmers found there turkeys drinking falling water when raining and found dead chicks thinking that they drown from the rain when in reality they died from weather. Besides if that were true, we wouldn't have an overpopulation of turkey's.

Hen Turkeys fan out their feathers to appear bigger. This behavior is seen in every other species of turkey as well.

A turkey's eyes are set in the sides of its head for monocular vision. But a hen or gobbler makes up for a lack of 3D sight by cocking its head left or right to determine the distance to other turkeys or potential danger in the brush. A turkey can twist its long neck 360 degrees, which in effect gives it eyes in the back of its head. While a turkey has poor night vision, it sees much more crisply in daylight than a human with 20/20 sight. These laser-like eyes are the turkey's primary defense mechanism. Turkeys, unlike deer, can see and assimilate some colors. For example, both hens and subordinate toms react to the changing blues, reds and whites of a dominant gobbler's head and neck during the spring breeding season. A tom's color-pulsing head stimulates hens for mating and suppresses the breeding urges of beta toms.

Well... How wild? Did you make a trap and catch a turkey from your back yard and plan to cook it or...?

Yes

• The maximum recorded lifespan for a turkey in captivity is twelve years and four months. For turkeys living in the wild, the maximum is less than ten years, but the average life expectancy of a turkey, is males just over 2 years and just over 3 years for females. Some domestic male turkeys often grow too large and too heavy to carry their own weight after their first year. Domestic turkeys bred for food consumption were not bred to live over one year.
