My duck/chicken life

Well in the pics you've shared, the yellow ones could be any of four different varieties. Top Right is a black. Bottom right is most likely a Nari (but could be a BR). Nari's have a mix of gray's blacks and white. Bourbon Reds (BR) swap grays for reds, but at this age the red is underdeveloped and can look gray. If you get some barring on the yellow ones as they feather out, then likely Royal Palms (RP). If they remain pure white they could be one of two different varieties. But in the end, the breed is Turkey for all of them.

If you get a chance check out Porter's Turkey's web site. I think you'll find it interesting.

The Yellow ones could be: Midget white, Beltsville white, White Holland or Royal Palm. You can read about them here. https://livestockconservancy.org/index.php/heritage/internal/conservation-priority-list#Turkeys

And here's a link to porter's site. https://www.porterturkeys.com/

Depending on who bred them, there are many many different color possibilities.

It's really hard to tell until they get their primary feathers and grow up a bit.

All of those breeds are pretty though. If we ended up with a rare breed out of getting it brom the mixed box then that would be awesome

If it is a belltsvill white then thats the one, or at least one of the ones we may possibly keep, due to having more future turkey dinners, since I just read that their more likely to breed on their own XD

All of the heritage birds can breed naturally. BB Toms have issues. My heritage Tom does fine with BB hens.

btw, are making any progress on feed?
