Ordered Turkeys Whatt happens if...

[lnm03]

OK, I ordered 6 burbon reds from Cackle hatchery rec'd 5/19 and three died. no big deal as they shipped more and i received new ones....BUT my first batch and second batch look COMPLETELY different! my first batch is feathering out WHITE! my 3 that I just got today are most likley burbon reds because the have some red in them where the first ones fuzz was yellow!

first group - what am I? any ideas?

received today

I'm new to turkeys but maybe i should have noticed this right away. I just thought they were yellow chicks that would feather out properly! boy was i wrong!!! Will they send me the correct order or am i stuck with what i have since i didnt notice it right away? Ive tried calling them but the line is busy!

Call and or email them and send them the pics. That isn't a Bourbon red. I've heard a few reports this year of mixed orders and they made it right but I don't know which hatchery.

I finally got ahold of them and they told me to email pics of what ive gotten and a discription of what happened and they will get back with me.

In the meantime does anyone know what i received the first time?

Either a Midget White or a White Holland. It doesn't look big or bulky enough to be a Broad Breasted White. The BBW's have very thick legs and are more rounder in shape.

Cackle doesn't sell Hollands or Midget white so I would think it will be a Royal Palm time will tell

If they don't carry Midgets or Hollands then it almost has to be a Palm.
