Domestic turkeys cannot fly because they become too large. Wild turkeys can fly for short distances at up to 55 miles per hour. When they're not flying, they can run at speeds close to 25 miles per hour. Tom turkeys have that red thing that hangs under their chin, which is called a snood. When fully developed, it becomes quite large, plump and elastic.
Hens also have snoods, but they are smaller, thinner and inelastic.

They also have exceptionally keen eyesight and see in color, but their night vision and depth perception are poor. 322 B.C. The legend started with chicken hens rather than turkeys. The Etruscans believed that hens were fortune tellers because they clucked before laying an egg. They would often sacrifice hens, and after leaving out the collarbone to dry, they would wish upon it.
