Turkey help please!

[LYONSMOMMA]

I literally know ZERO about turkeys. Can anyone please tell me what kind of turkeys these are. What gender? And give me your must know tips about raising them. I basically got them given to me, and I know nothing.

They look like some may be Bronze and some might be a mixed variety. I am guessing that they are 2 to 3 months old. I cannot sex them from those photos.

They are probably old enough to go on an All Flock or Flock Raiser feed.

You can learn a lot about turkeys by reading Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys. He has guides posted as well as many of the different varieties of heritage turkeys.

The sticky threads at the top of the first page of the Turkeys forum can also be helpful.
