Royal Palm Turkeys

[brittanys22]

I’m new to the Turkeys, I rescued 2 sweet babies yesterday. The lady had stated that 1 is 4 months old (bigger one) and the other was 2 months old (smaller one)

Well, I’ve done some research after getting these babies and today “he” was outside strutting around the smaller one, had his tail feathers up and those wings down on each side. I was certain “butterball” is a Jake.

Pictures below.

Note: they are super malnourished, under weight, had poop all over them. After some time at the spa, food & clean drinking water. They know they will be free ranging & loved here

Looks like a hen to me. Females will display to show dominance.

They don't look underweight to me. Royal Palms are one of the smaller heritage varieties.

I recommend feeding them a quality 20% protein all flock feed. It has the higher concentrations of the lysine, methionine and niacin that turkeys need.

I could be wrong, especially if its gobbling.
