Nope, they are two different varieties. The Beltsvilles are a bit bigger than the Midget Whites.
The best words of wisdom I have are to feed them properly (turkey feeds) and keep them in a draft free brooder until they are feathered in. I know a guy who constantly kills off his poults because he keeps them in a draft brooder and doesn't feed them enough. He blames it on inbreeding, but that's not true. I've tried to tell him too, but some people just don't listen.
I also raise my turkeys with my chickens as I want them to get along with each other when they grow up.
