What breed are these turkeys

[Turkeybabies]

I purchased these turkeys a couple of months ago and can't figure out what breed they are. Does anyone have any idea? Also any guesses on whether they are hens or toms?

They kind of look like Orloppe Bronze hens to me...I had some this year and they look very similar.

I worry that these may be one of the big butcher breeds and I have no intention of butchering. Will they have difficulty walking? They are larger than my hen that was already here and the 2 toms she hatched in July.

I'm afraid so. The one that hasn't been butchered from the spring hatch waddles like crazy. From what I understand, the Orloppe Bronze are a hybrid of the heritage bronze and the broad breasted bronze, so they may be alright to live longer, I'm not sure.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure what I'll do then. I don't want to see them suffer but I will not butcher. I may have to sell them for butcher
