Does this effect turkey reproduction?

 I found this article interesting relating to one part of a possible turkey decline. Turkeys and deer can ingest the same things throughout out their travels.

Whether this particular class of insecticides is toxic to turkeys probably has not been studied well enough to be certain.  However, circumstantial evidence based on stable to increasing wild turkey numbers in the states in question would make me suspect neonics probably don't impact turkeys much. 

I do believe chemical compounds that are associated with agricultural practices may well play a part in suppressed reproduction in wild turkeys.  That is another thing that needs to be investigated fully.

I think chicken crap being used as fertalizer is more detrimental to wild turkeys. Turkeys feed in these fields thats been fertilized by chicken crap and they catch a disease from it.
