Fattening turkeys for the Thanksgiving market or home table is a straightforward task. Keep birds in range with ample corn, feeding once daily in October and twice daily in the last three weeks. Separate birds to fatten, place in a large yard, and avoid free range to prevent stress and slower fattening.
To assess conformation, grasp the bird with head toward the body and span the back with both hands. Move the bird between hands to evaluate handling, avoid causing pain, and inspect keel, abdomen, and pelvic area. A heavy producer shows a long keel bone, full body capacity, and little fat after peak laying season.

It describes how pelvic bone spread and the distance to the breast bone indicate capacity, noting nonlaying hens have closer bones. It also cites overall body length and breadth as key factors for capacity.
