I have a blue slate tom that I am crossing over my Narragansett hen. Porters turkey calculator says this should be producing barred slate and barred black poults but I am getting these light brown/yellowy looking poults. I don’t know what breed to label it. Any ideas?

The breed is easy, it is the breed Turkey.

Based on your images, I do not believe you have a Narragansett hen.

Oh! What do you think she is? I got her as an assortment and assumed she was a Narrigansett. Could she be a bronze? If my memory serves me correctly I don’t think bronze was an option in the assortment but who knows.

Well. Upon looking at pics of bronze hens I don’t think she is one. Maybe a golden narrigansett? I still don’t see a match for her poults on porters calculator. lol. Weird. Unless it’s a very diluted rusty slate or very diluted rusty black. Hmm.

That's why I tagged the expert.

Can you make a picture in daylight?
Probably a Dilute Rusty Slate
