Welcome to BYC, Terry. Congratulations on your new property!
Where did you get your chicks?
Can you show us a picture of the turkey?

Hi we picked up the first 8 from TSC and then the 2 reds from the local farmer's market. We did a Google image search on the turkey so we'll see what she/he really is once they've grown a bit more.

Thanks
Terra

We're not sure but we bought the first 8 at TSC and that one just looked a little different after a week or so. Now we definitely see the difference and we've done a Google search for the breed but I think we'll really be able to know after about 16 weeks.

I don't know a thing about turkeys but @casportpony may be able to identify her breed.

Welcome to BYC! Looks like it is probably a broad-breasted white.

Long overdue update, he is definitely a turkey! We originally named him Bernice when we thought he was a hen. Call him Berny for short. He's turned into a bit of a protector for the chickens.
