Turkey

The turkey is a large bird that lays eggs. Male turkeys can be distinguished by a red head and neck, blue body, and a large fanned tail while females are largely brown with a downwards angled tail.

Taming

Turkeys can be tamed wild from temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, or cold bogs, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship.

Production

Turkey lays turkey eggs when fertilized, at an average rate of 1 every 1.333 days. Contrary to real life, Rimworld turkeys cannot lay unfertilized eggs.

Attacks

Turkeys have three attacks: scratch (feet), bite (beak) and less commonly used, blunt (head). In addition to the base damage, the scratch and bite attacks apply a stun for 14 ticks (0.23 secs).
