White turkey

[keeruss8]

Just seen an all white turkey on 65 by bowling green about mile east of fruit of the loom. Stuck out like a sore thumb. First all white turkey I've seen in Kentucky. I've seen some smoke ones over by me

Back when my daughter was at WKU & we were driving I65 from E'town to BG often, we saw several in the fields to the West of 65 just South of E'town. Only ones I've ever seen here in KY.

If it’s beard is black it’s just a tame bird not an albino. Shoot it and get it out of there if you see one. Makes the poults easy pickings for predators.

I have seen one white gobbler and a few white hens

Saw it yesterday in a group of about eight others, it is built like a wild bird.

I think wild ones can be white with a black beard but they are considered leucistic.

What do you have against whites with a black beard?

If it’s actually a fully wild Turkey, nothing other than it’s cool novel trait weakens the next generations ability to survive. If it’s tame or crossed it really needs gone.

They all eat the same.

I think it's called "grey phase" or "smoke phase". It would make an amazing full body mount. Seems it was discussed here, not so long ago.
