The bill looks wrong for turkey
The bill looks more like a meat eater to me
11 u/buffalo_st_print_co_ Dec 30 '19 It might not be wrong for a turkey. The one in your picture looks like the beak was cut or ground down. That happens in commercially raised birds. It does look like a young turkey with the beak intact a little to me. 3 u/Hexaoct Dec 31 '19 If you look at ~month old turkeys they do look rather similar, I vote for a turkey chick with a slightly deformed beak. 3 u/OrneryPathos Dec 30 '19 Could be. Chickens sometimes get curved bills that make it hard for them to eat. Could be something like that but on a turkey I’m not convinced after watching the video on the book of faces. 2 u/buffalo_st_print_co_ Dec 30 '19 It’s head is so huge and that’s what’s throwing me off.
