Poultry Display Booth

The poultry booth displays some newly hatched turkey poults. We'll discuss what birds are classified as 'poultry' and what you call the male, female and babies of the different species. Minnesota produces more turkeys than any other state in the US, so the turkey industry is spotlighted at the booth. Posters cover the parts of the turkey, some turkey trivia, and the impact of the turkey and chicken (meat and eggs) industries on the economy of Minnesota.

Do you know the differences between brown and white eggs (besides the color)?
