Good Morning to all! I have just joined and am fairly new to farm animals, I have had chickens for a few years now and really enjoy them. I just bought some brown turkeys this spring and my kids decided I needed more than 2 so they came back from the store with 5 white ones, my question to start is will the interbreed?

Some types of domestic turkeys must be artificially bred, other types can breed on their own.

Most of the time, not always, BB hens can effectively mate with heritage Toms. It's the BB Toms that, well, just can't reach or make it work. At this point, we're guessing OP has BB white hens, but she won't know until they get older. It's probably not a bad guess as most feed stores like to stock BBWs. It's unknown what her other turkeys are. They could be BB or heritage. Only time will tell. Pics will help as well.
