What kind of turkey

[Chickfever]

am I??

I'm no expert but for fun...i'd say a bronze!

 

[ShadyGlade]

I also vote for bronze.

 

[Chickfever]

Do you think he's the standard or bronze breasted? I'm wondering if his girls eggs will be fertile.....

do you know about how much he weighs? I think to be a bronze breasted i read he has to be like 35 lbs??

 

[Chickfever]

Sure don't. Is that the only way to tell the difference?

Looks like a Standard Bronze to me-where's Steve?

Bronze for sure

you can tell by the band of bronze/copper color on his wings and the tail feathers also will have a band of bronze on them with white tips.

Plus his size is a give away for sure when comparing to a wild.

Will a broad breasted try to mate with the hens? Our girls will lie down for him and he at least tries......

I'd love to figure out if he's a bb or standard bronze.

If that is a 1 yr old tom I say it is a standard. At 30 weeks my BB bronzes weighed in at 70lbs dressed. I have 2 in my freezer.
