White turkeys
Recently I have been driving down the road, and have noticed two or three toms that are white and black in a alfalfa field, not sure if they have been crossed up or are a freak of nature. I dont have any pictures but will try the next time I go through the area. What do you think?

RE: White turkeys
Talked to a DNR officer once about a few years ago. He told me it is just a genetic fluke and is more common than many people realize. It is not passed down to offspring. He said it has nothing to do with inter-breeding with domestic turkeys. I saw three gray birds last week in a flock of 18. It was pretty neat and I wished they had beards as they got within 15 yards of my stand.
