What breed?

I'm pretty sure that the hen is a BSW but the tom has me stumped, BBB maybe?

They are the 2 on my profile picture, I can't seem to attach the pictures...

A Rottweiler (Roxy), a Labrador retriever (Gypsy), 2 breeding turkeys, 7 poults, 3 goats (Charlotte, Tata & Oreo), four ducks, 3 geckos and a yard full of chickens...

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hard to tell what breed they are but I think you are right the black one is a Tom and the white one is a Hen.

How did you come about getting these Turkeys and did you ask the seller.

Nice looking pair.

The offspring it would be nice to see what they look like.

We got them from a lady who lives a few villages away from us, she was selling turkeys and we couldn't resist getting a pair. But no, we did not ask her what kind they are... Not that it would help, people here have there own names for turkey, duck and chicken breeds, for example what we know as the O Shamo chicken, they call a Julo-Hano.

The tom isn't a BBB, that stands for Broad Breasted Bronze.  That guy is way to slender for a BBB, more like a standard Bronze.  Handsome pair you have!

That Merriam Turkey looks like my tom, anyone else sees the resemblance? Could that be his breed?

ps: the hen is all white, no black markings
