Hi,I have 2 turkeys and I was woundering how do I keep them up in the winter time and the birds are a red bourbon tom and a royal palm hen and will the still breed since they are a different breed? If any one can help me with that plz do!? Thanks!

Yes, they will breed. Not sure what the cross will look like, though. Here is a link to an old thread where your question was asked. Seems like turkeys are pretty tough birds and handle winter well. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/934561/turkeys-in-winter
Good luck to you!

Crossing a Bourbon Red tom with a Royal Palm hen will produce Red Bronze offspring. They are not different breeds but are simply different color varieties of the same breed - turkeys.

Give them a roosting place out of the wind. Provide them with good quality feed and fresh unfrozen water.
