What Do I Have?

We ordered 4 varieties of turkeys, due on May 10. They include: Bourbon Red, Narragansett, Bronze, and BBW. I am so excited and hope that we can get 5 raise-able/edible hens out of the lot. Never raised anything like this before so it will be an adventure! Any advice would be appreciated!
