Oh a first timer

We picked them up at Rural King yesterday. These 4 were in a tub on their own, while the other much smaller Rhode Island Reds and Isla Browns were in other tubs. We asked why and why she said they were turkeys, then changed her mind and decided they were just older and hadn't sold. We bought them and then worried what if they are really turkeys. The internet hadn't yielded much help and led us to question is much more if we had turkeys. Their beaks appear a little more curved, darker, but guess could be their breed. Obviously new to all this

There's a site called Feathersite you could google to see lots of photos of turkey poults to compare with these little guys.

I also think that they are chicks and not poults. Poults usually have bit of extra neck skin under their chins.

The photo you have the chicks look to be 6 weeks old at-least ....
