The resulting breed of crossing any turkeys other than an Ocellated turkey will be the breed Turkey.

Crossing a Broad Breasted White with a Broad Breasted Bronze will produce broad breasted offspring that should have the about the same growth rate and end result as either of the parents.

The offspring should be Bronze Semi-color and will look very similar to a Bronze turkey.

You will most likely have to use artificial insemination to produce fertile eggs. This also means incubating the eggs and starting them in a brooder. Broad Breasted turkeys are not good broodies and can be hazardous to young poults.
