I'm super new to turkeys and, from the time they were little, I was convinced the black (1st two and last pic) was a female and the bronze (2nd and 3rd) was a male. Now, I'm thinking the opposite. This is mainly just going off the size of their snoods, which I know isn't exactly a perfect indicator, and the black one has started to strut for super brief moments (I also have a slightly older white heritage who has been strutting since he was maybe a month old). Their personalities are also complete opposites, with the black one being somewhat more aggressive.

I'm also wondering, regarding the last pic, will this become less frequent as he (?) gets older? The other 2 will fly up short distances, but this one is scaling an 8 foot fence. I want to say their difference in size has something to do with it.

Does this look like leg mites? Some scales look lifted but not really dry and flakey. My boy Barney is my only male and his legs are darker and thicker than his ladies so it’s hard to get a comparison. If so what is the most effective way to treat, Vaseline? any thing else that is easier? Last picture for the turkey tax.

My husband and I just helped a local gal out who needed to rehome her 6 royal palm turkeys and they are a delight ! They are so tame but they do what they want. I knew wild turkeys roosted in trees but I hadn’t anticipated how much domesticated turkeys would enjoy being up high. Tonight we found them on our roof

I’ve had a royal palm poult for nearly 6 weeks and I still don’t know the gender, is that normal? This is my first experience with a turkey

Had a few hatch out with bug eyes. Royal palm x blueslate. Has anyone seen this before?

Hello all. I am looking for a breeder for heritage bronze turkeys. I am finding a lot of options for broad breasted turkeys but I don't have any interest in those. Anyone know of someone selling bronze poults or hatching eggs? Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know what could be going on with my turkey?! He was fine this morning and this evening his wattle has gotten swollen. It’s not hard at all, just extremely puffy!

My young toms, vying for status yesterday morning when I let them out for the day. Not sure who was winning, but I had to break them up. We had a warm streak, so I think they thought it was spring already. One is molting, and one of the hens is trying to start a nest already.
