New turkey. Need help with age.

[Southernchickens]

I recently got this turkey from a flea market and have no idea about it's age. It looks small compared to my male and other hen. Can anyone give me an idea about how old it could be? I had to get a new one because my older hen decided she only wants to sit on chicken eggs and not lay her own eggs!

She is probably 3-6 months old and a Heritage turkey, which means they aren't the industrial type but the kind meant to forage. What type are your others?

She is very pretty by the way!

She looks a little older than 3 months, when I sold my heritage turkeys they were 3 months old and seemed to be smaller. I would probably say 4-6 months.

My other turkeys are a pair which were supposed to be bronze but the female has turned white and brown. Almost like a burbon red color. She hatched out a chicken egg she stole from a black austrolorp hen and Im hoping she starts laying her own eggs soon. Im thinking this new hen may not lay until next spring.
