That’s what i thought but when i bought them they were supposedly all females it is slightly bigger than the other and has a slightly longer set of tail feathers
I got four heritage bronze poults and, just like yours, one of them was slightly bigger and had a bigger snood (pimple on the forehead). The other three were mostly similar-looking. Ended up with two toms and two hens.

However, sometimes all poults look exactly the same and its impossible for us to tell them apart. One of the weird wonders of turkeys. Another weird wonder is that they can have virgin babies. A hen can have male babies without a male involved.
 
I wish I would’ve got heritage bronze but at the time of buying I was uninformed about the difference and broad breasted was cheaper so I bought broad breasted which is a decision I now regret

So my mom found this turkey walking down the street next to her house, never seen it before. So now it’s coming to my house to live with my chickens and ducks, but don’t know the gender can anyone help.

I looked up and it’s a bronze
