white turkey

[outdooraddict]

Hoping my pics work. I have a trail cam pic of this bird last fall and i found it tonight. Obviously it survived the winter. Do you think its part domestic or an albino (if there is such a thing)

Ive seen a few white turks around.  Hard to say if theyre albino, hybrid, or escaped domestic without getting a good up close look.

As far as i know there isnt anybody around that raises birds. Pretty cool though. Doeant seem that common. Anyone kill one?

Leucystic wild turkey is my guess. I've never seen one in person but I have seen them on hunting shows. Not very common.

Does it have one of those little pop-up turkey cooking button in it's breast?

Ursus-butterball.

If it has the slightest beard coming out of its breast then it will find itself in my oven one month from today

Seriously, I'm betting wild.

I have seen two in my life.  Pretty cool

I saw one down by Klickitat a couple years ago. It was with a flock of wild birds. I suppose it could be the offspring of wild and tame birds.

It's wild, domestic birds don't last very long in the wild. I have seen one. It was a hen in a big flock up by colville.

One of the neighborhood hens had a clutch of 7 chicks . Four of them were white. They didn't survive long. Easy prey for great horned owls when they are on the roost. Pretty easy to see. One survived until the fall hen season. Neighbor saw someone shoot it on the lake side of the road. It was  a very small turkey.

Not a good enough picture to tell.  Could be a Royal Palm(ish) domestic that got lonely and started to run with the wild turkeys.  Depending on the time of year, they are sometimes very chummy.

I have looked at the photo for a long time.  No expert, but I think it might be a domestic xbred.  The breast looks bigger than the other hens.  And it is not albino the head has dark feathers and the tail and underbody have dark coloring too?

It looks very similar to a hen that I have, the darker feathering above the tail and the band around the tail is convincing me that it is a runaway or a release.
