Which kind of Turkey is this?

[Strange Hatter Farms]

I was told he was a Bourbon Red/Royal palm mix but the older he gets the more confused I become.

He’s close to 3 months old

Oh no! I hope thats not the case. I named him Ramsey and was looking forward to a big old male walking around the barn

If this is your only turkey, hope very much for a hen. It is not a good idea to keep a lone tom around chickens. It usually ends up with dead chickens once the tom starts trying to breed them.

Bourbon red tom and royal palm hen should produce red bronze poults. Royal palm tom and bourbon red hen should produce golden Narraganset hen and red bronze tom poults.

Yes, definitely Red Bronze phenotype.

Ramseys hatch mate died in shell and I just got my hands on another one. I was wrong on my dates. Ramsey is 1.9 months old. I’m hoping the baby I got (Martha) is the hen, I also have a blue slate in the incubator. I got the egg while buying Martha.

Do females puff out like Toms when mad at chickens?

Yes hens also will when showing aggression. I even have had hens strut at times.

Is he any of those?

I would lean towards red bronze hen by seeing those dark feathers coming in. But I am not to familiar with red bronze. @R2elk ?

At less than two months old, it is too soon to sex from photos.
