White Turkeys

One of my contractor buddies sent me this pic from his driveway. He is seeing them almost everyday and says the 3 birds look like albinos to him. I have seen smoke phase birds before, but not true albinos.

Domestic turkeys are white and on occasion cross breed with wild turkeys producing a white bird on occasion.

We have two pet silver turkeys, I will have to put orange collars/vests on them in April so the slob road hunters don't kill them standing in the cut bean field next to my house.

I looked it up and true albino wild turkeys are 1 in 100,000.

Those are called Jives. White Jive Turkeys were more abundant in the 70s, but obviously some are still in existence.

I have a white turkey that my dad killed mounted in my cabin. First saw it as a polt. Killed him as a 2 year old gobbler. Beard was black, eyes were normal so it was not an albino. It was definitely 100% wild.

Tom was strutting in the field trying to intimidate the combine, as the farmer was running beans. Beau intervened

Did he run out there barefooted and snatch it up? No weapons? Chip off the ol block.
