Hello, I ordered some turkey poults from cackle hatchery, I just ordered their heritage turkeysbof their choice, because they were much cheaper. I got 2 breeds I think just 2.
So I am wondering what I got, I was thinking royal palms, and broad breasted bronze?

If you ordered heritage turkeys then broad breasted is not one of the choices. Broad breasted turkeys are not considered heritage turkeys.

Cackle's Surplus heritage turkey special can include: Bourbon Red, Royal Palm, Blue Slate, Narragansett and Black Spanish. Your "white" poult is likely a Royal Palm and your other poults appear to be Narragansetts.
 
Thank You.
Unfortunately I lost one already, I went out and they were all fine, about an hour later, I went back out and one of the royal palms was flopped over on his back and cold... Still breathing, but barely... I don't know what happened :(

Some poults get flipping syndrome where they flip over on their backs and can't get back up. There have been posts about it in the past and what people have done to try to deal with it. Search is your friend for finding most information.
