Wild Eastern

Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) This was the turkey species first...
Pros: Help cal in the others for eating
Cons: Flightyq
Went back and edited the names.Anyways these birds are great we raised two and they were awesome.
Pros: Easy to sell, beautiful plumage
Cons: Permits, flighty
I bought some awhile back and HATED them immediately. They were nasty little buggers. Just trying to catch one for wing clipping, I was whacked upside the head (don't underestimate how much that can hurt!) and my face was scratched, right across my eye. Then, they escaped and took off. There was another breed of turkey raised along with them, which was fine, friendly and personable, so it wasn't that these were raised incorrectly. I will NEVER get these again and they almost turned my boyfriend off from letting me get any other turkeys!
Cons: may leave for the woods
I hatched some Eastern wilds last spring. I loved them they were so pretty and sweet. Mine left for the woods a while back. I miss them dearly.
