Well at least one things been generally agreed on: Boris is a girly! Which is nice to know!
With regards to her breed I've been told by someone on a UK forum that shes a bronze/black cross? Her tail feathers are starting to look a bit better now the better weather is coming, they got quite beat...
Thanks all!
I got a few eggs in with a cayuga duck order off ebay: the guy wasn't able to fill the full order so threw some turkey eggs in as replacement and in thats how I got Boris!
I'm quite glad he's a she actually! I'm considering adding more Turkey's this year including some more as close...
Hi all,
I've asked this in the "what breed/gender" area but thought perhaps I'd be able to get an answer here:
Would you kindly say if "Boris" is a girl or a boy and also what breed please?
I hatched him/her out about 4 or so months ago I believe
Many Thanks
Thank you very much!
Here's another image of the one thats been identified as a pullet but still leaves me leaning towards roo:
And of course, if anyone is able to, any ideas if "Boris" is a boy or a girl and also what type of turkey he/she is:
Many Thanks!
Hi all, sorry if this is a forum faux-pas but I thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone could possibly offer some confirmation on these two please?

They look like something out of a Resident Evil game!
Have to say though: be interested to see them stood next to a more "conventional" breed for size comparison
Again, very much appreciated!
With Grunhilder she has a green shimmer to her back that hasn't come out in the photo: woudl this affect the guesses between Silver Sussex and Birchen Marans?
With regards to the mixes, I'm not too fussed about not having specific breeds but it would be nice to...
Thank you all so much for the replies so far!
Here is a closer image of the barred I suspect of being a male:
And a close up of Boris' head as requested:
With the mixed birds has anyone got a guess on what type of mix? Cheeky of me to ask since you've all helped so much already and it...
Hi all,
I've been lurking here since getting some girls last spring but I've finally decided to register and get posting a little.
The first 4 girls were bought as POL from a local freeholder back in March/April 2011, after that I've had a few dabbles with hatching eggs from Ebay with variously...
