Title: Strutting Turkey
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on December 20, 2009, 02:05:17 PM: Here are a couple picture of a Struter that left the shop on the 8th. Couple of broken primaries on 1 wing, and a few missing brest feathers. Not really good pictures. Took them at the last minute when Todd_ID came to pick it up. He is going to build a base for it and promised better pictures.

I pulled the story up on the bird.

I used a flash in doors with a crapy to begin with camera and you know how that goes. It makes any white wash everything out. They are horrible pic's so I am hoping Todd_ID can provide some better ones when he gets it put on his base.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on January 01, 2010, 06:32:32 PM: Thanks Guys. I can't remember what the bird weighed alive. I weighed it at 19lbs 7 oz.

The biggest bird I have ever done was 26lbs.
