I have two turkeys and they are just so awesome! I love talking
to my turkeys! Their communication is so enjoyable!
John Henry is my Gobbler and Pearl is my hen!
I do not know breeds for exact because both of them was given to
me... After research and comparison I believe my gobbler is a
Standard Bronze and i'm sure my female is a Blue Slate

About Standard Bronze
Standard Bronze turkey is one of the largest heritage turkey
breeds. They have also been the most popular turkey breeds in
American history. Bronzes were originally a cross between the
native wild turkeys (discovered by Europeans) in America and the
turkeys brought to the colonies by Europeans. Among the Standard
Bronze varieties, the Broad-Breasted Bronze is the most
commercially raised variety and most have been bred by
artificial insemination since the 1960s. But this variety was
replaced by the Broad-Breasted White at that time. Because white
feathers of Broad-Breasted White turkeys led to a cleaner
looking and they become most commercially acceptable turkey
breed. On an average, an adult hen weights about 16 pounds and a
tom can reach about 25 pounds. Although birds which are
available nowadays may be smaller than this.
About Blue Slate
Blue slate is a domestic turkey breed. They have slate gray
color plumage. They are lighter birds and are also sometimes
called Lavender turkeys.
Actually slate turkey breed may be any number of shades between
white and pure black. They are among the beautiful heritage
turkey breeds. Adult Blue Slate hen can weight about 14 pounds
and an adult tom can weight about 23 pounds.
