This is going to sound silly. I have no clue how to mod anything in Dwarf Fortress. However, I am in a position where I would like to make turkeys drop yarn cloth when butchered. Or, if they can't drop cloth, normal yarn would be very acceptable. I am just not sure how to add this in. Will I need to generate a new world after adding? Thanks for the help.

This can be done in an existing world.  I see you're trying to avert a failed mood.  You may look into reactions instead, modify the soap reaction to produce yarn instead.  You can modify existing reactions in a world, you just can't add new ones.

Either way, for butchering, you'll likely have more luck with the EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT flag.  Check out ostriches for an example - they produce a gemstone made of random stone when butchered.  If you attach a similar flag to a turkey's body, and have it slated for cloth instead, you'll get all the items from butchering PLUS cloth.  ITEM_CORPSE only works on death - you'd have to pit your turkey to fall to its death, or have it otherwise killed.  A butchered turkey won't produce an ITEM_CORPSE item because those only appear when killed.

Well, that helps me know what tag I need. I looked at the ostrich but, I don't know how to change it to suit my needs. Like I said, I have NEVER modded dwarf fortress and all of these tags are just confusing. Here is what I did to my turkeys but, they still aren't giving yarn cloth.

That's because that's not how you create yarn cloth.
If you want to create yarn cloth, you have to specify a valid item token (CLOTH:NONE) and a valid yarn material (e.g. CREATURE_MAT:SHEEP:HAIR).

I already know it's wrong since it doesn't work. I just don't know how it is wrong.
