Added 2 Eastern Wild hens to my rafter yesterday. I previously thought that my tom was an Eastern Wild, but after seeing these hens and searching online I now think that he is a Standard Bronze or maybe a Merriam (the guy I bought him from claimed that he was a ‘wild’ turkey, so I assumed Eastern Wild).
Question is: if my tom breeds with these Eastern Wild hens, will the offspring be less valuable than purebreds? Or will the hardiness of the EW improve the SB traits?
What are the pros/cons of crossbreading Eastern Wild with Standard Bronze?
