ok so whats the deal with blue in turkeys does it breed true and would he get big enough to stay put (even if it means wing trimming)

I wouldn't get a Blue (though they are my favorite). They are a lot lighter and more spry than the heavier heritage breeds. My blue hen likes to roost on my roof if I am not careful.

ok so what is a large and interesting heritage?

oh and how young can you tell genders?

Pretty good guess early on for some. Jakes are a little bigger, start strutting and tomming pretty earlier and their feathers are different. I have been mostly accurate at around 3 weeks. Though not definite until the gobbling happens around 4-6 months.

legs are generally thicker and longer too profti at an early age....
and the palms are the smallest of the large heritage turkeys.......
