What kind of turkey is this?

[Bluechick2u]

She is about 20 pounds I think, she is only 1 year old per the people we got her from, I simply read somewhere that broad breasted only live appx 4 years or so, but I don't know anything.

If she's a year old and 20 lbs. I'm going to say standard bronze.

But 20 lbs is the top end weight for hens.

I would expect a bbb hen to weigh quite a bit more at a year.

Thats such good news, thank you! So does a standard bronze live 8 years? Do we know how many years to expect?

 

[feedman77]

Possibly up to 8 or more.
