They don't look like bronze!! but they are lovely - any more hatched?? Have they started eating? I see you have them on sawdust but for the first week I think it is safer to put them on old tea towels and sprinkle your crumbs around the floor, this encourages them to eat.

I think they are harder than chickens but worth the trouble! Just make sure they are eating. I often feed hard boiled egg to start mixed in with crumb. They go for the yellow! I also put coloured glass chips in thier water which encourages then to peck (it's always worked for me!). Make sure you are using turkey starter crumb - they need the extra protein. I often dissolve a little sugar in the water to start. Good luck, any more pics??

Wow, i've never seen a turkey chick before. They are very cute... would love to see more pics as they grow.
can't give you any advice on them thos, only that u really need some kind of sauce with them at xmas, cos they are ever so dry (my mum cremates everything she cooks might have something to do with it tho)

Turkeys are keener on dieing than chooks. Give them a tiny excuse and they will die. The last time I saw bronze poults (at least 25 years ago) they were actually bronze x white, but those were sort of stripey, coffee-and-cream.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.
