What are they?!

[MidnightRaven888]

Posted these ladies last fall and was told they didn't look like BBW. Just curious what everyone thinks. Kiddos and their dad got them around end of August 2024 from rural king. We very much love Patricia and Lady as they are friendly and thinking of adding more to our bird family so would love some recommendations on what other turkeys to go with. Also when should they start laying?

They are Broad Breasted White hens and could start laying any time.

I recommend that you get a heritage variety of turkeys in the future. You can learn a lot about the heritage varieties at Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys.
