When the idiots reintroduced them here in the 70s, they were too cheap to get 100% wild turkeys so they got a few toms and crossed them with domestic turkeys and released them. They bred like crazy but they're still partly domesticated so they spend most of their time hanging around the barns, flocking, etc. After that the MNR decided to go 100% wild in restocking other areas but we're still stuck with these ones, apparently 3-400 turkeys in a flock in a barnyard isn't normal behaviour anywhere but here.
Some of the guys feeding outside are having a heck of a time with coccidiosis because of it, even with decox.
