Painted Turkeys from porters
One recommendation. Do not cross them with Paints, otherwise you'll get a mess. If you just want to create more Harveys, go by using Bourbon Reds. 1st year: Harvey x Bourbon Red 2nd year: Harvey x Offspring or Offspring x Harvey Just out of curiosity, where did he get the Harvey's from? I'm... -
Painted Turkeys from porters
No, we haven't released any official information yet. Just to clarify, Harveys and Painted do not share the same mutation. -
White colorization in Osceola Turkey
Irregular white pattern at an early age is often a sign of a development delay due to sickness or malnutrition. After molting such birds will show their usual pattern. -
Turkey Poult Color ID
The yellow ones can develop many different color pattern. You will know by 8-10 weeks if any other colors will be shown. Royal Palm is for sure one option. The darker ones both carry a copy of red. One is a Red Bronze, the other one appears to be Blue Red Bronze, but not 100% sure. Daylight... -

Pencilled Turkeys
Pencilling is covered, but you can also ask me directly. Advice is always for free. :D -
Pencilled Turkeys
Pencilling is only showing in black-winged bronze varieties, therefore, Pencilled Black-Winged Narragansett are a thing. ☺️ I had quite a few over the years, also semi-pencilled ones. A bronze-based Pencilled Narragansett is not possible and shouldn't be shown as a result in the calculator... -
Royal Palm x Narragansett
I took this fact into account, when calculating the offspring. photos of the offspring would be mandator to determine their phenotype/genotype. -
Royal Palm x Narragansett
That was just the automatic naming from Henk (who originally made the color calculator). Phenotypically the only real difference you can determine between a normal Narragansett and a b/b1 C/cg n/- is that the barrings of the primary wings are usually imperfect on b/b1 birds. -
Royal Palm x Narragansett
Do you have pictures of the parents and the poults? -
Can royal palms have brown?
I don't see brown, but what I see is semi-pencilling. -
What variant of Turkey is this?
Yes, definitely looks like dilute version (n/n). -
What variant of Turkey is this?
Unfortunately the pictures aren't good enough to tell the exact phenotype, but for sure a Jersey Buff phenotype and very likely a split base color. If you have pictures of his tail feathers, this would help a lot. -
Turkey Genetics ( Bronze Tom crossed with Royal Palm ).
Color wise it looks like the male was carrying a Narragansett gene as well. The lighter poult is most likely a Narragansett. If you have pictures of both of the parents, this would help to make a more precise determination.
