if he is wild then its best to keep it your own little secret (feds are really strict on actual wild turkeys)

Last night I went by my friends house whos family lives on that road that a client found it on, he said it looks to be a broad Brest turkey, he says it has funny spots so its not a wild one. they are more brown. A client found the chick along side the road. but the problem is there are a ton of people on that road that have free range "tame" turkeys. They are not wild, just free range EVERYWHERE. He said they would never know whos it was so IDK :

He showed me pictures of his broad brest chicks and it looks just like it. has funny spots on its head compared to the wild ones I found pictures of online, so it should be ok?

The thing about turkeys and chickens, is that if you have them and raise them when they're young then when they get older if you split them up they'll morn or if one of
them dies they'll morn. And my preference on turkeys would be Broad Breasted Bronze because they have loving personalities but you'll have health problems
because well they're broad breasted.

hope i helped

that should be fine, also i think if the banty chicks are off the ground in a brooder then i would just put the turkey with them.
