Turkeys???

Ok I got a male full grown Tom turkey. Now I want to know two things.


1: I have been trying to get it to eat dry corn, but it seems to not want to eat it. What do turkeys eat?


2: He can change the color of his snood (the flesh that lays over his beek) and his wattle, from red to white. What does the colors mean?|||FEED turkeys cracked or whole kernel corn, sunflower seeds, oats, wheat, or non-medicated commercial poultry or turkey rations.





If you want to actually fatten the turkey then some type of fat must be added to the commercial feed. Commercial feeds are set up for "medium" weight gain. Check with your local 4-h or county extension office for more feeding information.

The color changes of the snood and wattle seem to be something male plumage fowl can do because they will eventually strut and primp for females.|||1: I assume you are plumping him up for turkey season and Thanksgiving. They eat ticks, other bugs, and berries.





2: Colors means he's horny. Its mating season, colors attract the hens.|||He is in turkey heat.lol Jamie.|||wow he has the hots for you
