B.B. Bronze turkey chick

[quails-101]

My B.B. Bronze turkey chick has no snood so I was wondering if that means it is a female. Are B.B. Bronze turkeys a heritage turkey or are they a meat turkey. I hope it is a heritage turkey so it can live as long as possible because nothing gets eaten on my bird farm all pets. And If it is a meat turkey how long do they live. Thank you for the information.

BB = Broad Breasted

Broad Breasted = meat turkey

If it is a BB, it is not a heritage turkey.

All turkeys have a snood whether they are male or female. If your turkey doesn't have a snood, it either has lost its snood somehow (perhaps an injury) or else it isn't a turkey.

Please post a photo.

I know the girls and the boys have snoods I just heard the girls will have smaller snoods then the boys so I'm thinking it is a girl but I will post a piture.

Sorry, can't tell anything from that photo since it is too out of focus.

It should be a picture taken from the side of the whole bird.
