I sent a picture of my turkey But I don't know the breed. What do you think? I am very new at this and I don't know much about computers. So it doesn't come out the way I would like it to.

This one looks like a Bourbon Red, but the lighting could be throwing me off...Here's one of my BRs (a bit older than yours) as an example:

This one looks like a mix...be easier to tell when it feathers out more

they were three days old and there were 7, now there is five

I'm sorry you've lost a few

Are they just taking day trips outside, I hope? Very cute

yes they are three weeks now, I bought them with my neighbor from murray mc murray hatchery. they have 15 min so she took 8 and five of hers died in the first week within 24 hrs! then the following week also within 24 hrs 2 of mine died, she called the hatchery and they said that the would credit her some birds, but none of their breeds of turkeys are laying well and there wont be any more until next year. also they said that it was because they were free ranging with the chickens they died. id but it seems weird that they have 8 species of turkey for sale that usually lay until fall and none of them are expecting any more fertile eggs this year? what do you think?
