Which kind of Turkey is this?

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

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

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

Absolutely. Hens can and do strut just like toms do.
