Liberty or death Jr. Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Anybody have pictures of different color phases of turkey? I saw a group today with a really big tom in it, I couldn't get close enough for a shot, but I noticed all the females had a lot more white then any turkey I've seen so far here. They were merriams by the way. Thanks Quote
tucker301 Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Don't know about Merriam's, but the eEastern gobblers are blacker and shinier looking than are the hens. I assume the hens are dull in order to conceal nesting locations. Quote
Liberty or death Jr. Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 The females had a lot more color I thought, only saw one male, he had a blood red head, and was mostly black, and strutting his stuff. Quote
