Small but healthy

[chickencrazy88]

This is my Jake (or at least I think by the signs he is showing) Screech. He’s very friendly he is about 13 weeks old I assumed he’s was a BB bronze but I have a BB White Jenny (or I think she is a Jenny, again based on signs I’ve been told) that is a few week younger and her legs are bigger they are about the same height but she is much heavier. Am I wrong about his breed and should I be concerned he’s small? he’s definitely healthy and growing and runs around playing, eats and poops regularly. We love him so much also is this behavior more the “loves us” or is “upset” he’s never been aggressive with us

All domestic turkeys are the breed Turkey. Your Bronze appears to be a heritage Bronze and not a Broad Breasted Bronze. Your white one does appear to be a Broad Breasted White hen.

I definitely knew they were Turkeys just was assuming their Genders after watching their characteristics develop, also wasn’t sure if he was actually a BB vs a heritage so thank you so much these are our first Turkeys and we are learning so much!
