Dave Eaton and I had a rather short but useful series of emails today, and

The original turkey-chicken (as it was neither one nor the other) was Dave
Eaton's design.  However, after modifying his design to make it a pure bred
turkey, and sitting it next to my livestock, I noticed that the turkey was
smaller than my ducks (which are pretty huge for minifig scale).

Actually, Anthony's duck/chicken/goose designs inspired me to try playing
around with chickens again (my 1st design):

Now, I *love* the chickeny look that this model has, but, it is a bit too
large. Maybe it'd work as a technic-scale or Lego-mini-land-scale chicken.
Just to give an idea of some scale (with some other chicken designs):

Both Anthony and I figured size-wise it might make more sense as a turkey,
and he put this together:

A turkey is supposed to be a BIG bird.  So I took the parts from Dave Eaton's
design and grafted them onto Andy Lynch's duck design.

And voila!  A big Turkey!

I actually sorta stuck with the same design as before, but just beefed up
the tail, wings, and head:

Gobble Gobble!

What are a bunch of chickens and turkeys called, anyway?
