What varieties of apples?

Annas and Golden Dorsetts. Both are Golden Delicious varietals with low chill hour (300 +/-) requirements. Not great for anything, but decent for eating, decent for apple sauce, decent for pies. They aren't "specialists". Cross polinators.

Early harvest, early fruiting (2-3 years), moderatly small "trees" (12-15' canopy, mature) for the Annas, the Dorsetts get a little bigger, take a little longer to fruit (15-20', 3-5 years).

Oh, and I haven't managed to snap a photo, cause they don't hold still long, but one of the BB turkeys seems to have a pronounced bump at the top of its beak (the snood), the other three do not. Am I both desperately hopeful (and likely wrong) that is a potential sex indicator that I have a tom and three jennys? It looks natural/normal healthy.

about a week old - bought them last Sunday, they had to be a few days old at that point.

Mites. Needs another permethrin treatment. Actually, has had the permethrin treatment, just needs time to heal. Will be cleared up by next weekend.

Problem with outdoor rabbit cages is the tree rats bring mites while looking for spilled rabbit pellets.

Yeah, you probably have another 7 weeks before you can start trying to sex them based on what I remember
