What kind of turkey is this?

[plumcreek]

I got this hen (this is a hen right, sometimes she struts....?) from shipped eggs. I was going to process her but I had a baby over Christmas and we just never got to it over the holidays. She is probably around 10 months old.

Based on the caruncles, the snood and the heaviness of the legs, I would say that it is a young tom and not a hen. Sorry I can't help you on the breed.

Wow, how long do toms take to mature? This one was from late spring/early summer 13.

He, in my opinion, looks like a Rio Grande because of the buff colored tail feathers.

Definitely a hen (white edged breast feathers) she may have some Rio blood in her but she's not pure. Rio's have much longer legs and the legs are a darker, reddish color. probably a mix of Eastern and Rio. Pretty bird.

Here are some mixed hens I raised

Thanks!

I really don't see anything in this bird that suggest it's not a standard bronze hen. But it's definitely a hen.
