So I'm getting some bourbon reds, blue slate, and royal palm keets. Along with having 1 normal? Keet (looks like a wild turkey.) Dunno genders yet about 4-6 weeks old for the new ones and not sure one the 1 I've had for a week or two. Will these cross breed with each other next year? Or when they are mature (not sure when they start laying eggs >.>)

Keets are guineas. Newly hatched turkeys are poults.

If you have both toms and hens, yes they can breed. They are all turkeys, just different varieties. If the different varieties do breed they will produce even more different varieties. The offspring from such matings will not breed true.

You can use Porter's Turkey Color Calculator to determine what varieties they will produce.
