turkey tail feathers

Does anyone of if a turkey will regrow its tail feathers? I ask because we bought a beautiful gobbler and a hen at the feed store today. We brought them home and were in bliss watching that big tom strut around the yard and even let us pet him. All was great until my black lab busted out of his pin and attacked that gobbler while I chased him around for 15 mintues trying to save the gobblers life. End the end, the bird lived but now has only about 4 tail feathers and is missing large patches of other feather. I was able to catch him and put him in a chicken pin. What a day... :banginghe The pic I included was before the attack.

What kind of turkeys are they? Bronzeback breasted. I am curious into getting a pair myself as well. I was going to order some poults, but it might be less of a headache to get a few the size you have. How much were they if you dont mind me asking?

turkey price

Ladds farm supply has these as a pair only for $100.00. I believe they are Mariams looking at the white tips.
