She's a Silver Dapple, or possibly a Rusty Tuxedo. A little bit hard to say in that lighting.

The male is heterozygous for Black-Winged Bronze alle. That's why one poult is much lighter in color. This poult is homozygous for the Black-Winged Bronze allele. The other one is a Red Bronze. One female is a Cornish Palm, the other one a Sweetgrass. The male is what we call a Chestnut red.

Big Update: The Color Calculator now has a 'Beginner' and 'Expert' mode. The 'Beginner' mode is for all people not familiar with turkey genetics and just focus on colors. This mode sums up all phenotypes and shows just 1 row per phenotype (including the cumulated percentage). The 'Expert' mode...

Search Bar added. Varieties can now be filtered for quicker results.

It's a Sweetgrass, but not a typical one. It obviously has wild blood in it. They tend to be very reddish, but not in the same way as a Fall Fire would be.

Yes, in this picture it looks like a slated one. The big white face mask ist totally normal for BB varieties.

Rusty Black x Slate produces Rusty Blacks and Rusty Slates. As I don't see any slate color, Rusty Black would be the only other option.

Looks like Blue Fall Fire. Though on the lighter end of the spectrum.

Definitely not a Rusty Slate. Rusty Slates do have a slate color plus Rusty tones. This is an example: Definitely not a Rusty Slate. Rusty Slates do have a slate color plus Rusty tones. This is an example of a Rusty Slate:

Dedicated thread for questions, suggestions and updates regarding the Turkey Color Calculator. Basic instructions: Results will be shown down below:

Are those poults yellow, or orange? Bronze-based and black-based white look more orange than yellow. Purely yellow poults are black-winged bronze-based. They can develop multiple different phenotypes (blue, red,...). Bronze-based white: Black-based white: Black-Winged Bronze (incl...

You can calculate the offspring easily by yourself (Turkey Color Calculator). Just select the varieties and click on "Calculate Offspring". The male and female offspring will be listed below.

I think it will help people learn the genotypes. They can select a variety and the calculator will show the genotype. Maybe I will even highlight the alleles that were change, so it will be even easier to spot what's going on. 😅

I'm working on it since a couple of months. I'm adding features every couple of weeks, to make it easier to use. If you know something that would help people operate the calculator, please let me know.
