I asked if these bronze turkeys were broad breasted or heritage a week or so ago and was told I should post again when they are older. They have grown a lot since then so maybe someone would know now? I was kinda thinking they might be broad breasted bronze just because they have quite a bit of meat around their chest.

Edit: They can fly pretty well, they fly out of the brooder a lot. I am not sure if the broad breasted can fly so I don't know if this is any help...

Up until they get heavy, broad breasted turkeys can fly just as well as heritage varieties.
 
Cute poults! I have a BB bronze that is a year old. i was dissapointed to find out he was a BB but hopefully we can get a few years out of him. He was attacked by dogs 2 months ago and still has wounds not completely healed. They are tough birds!
