Tiger bronze crossed with sweetgrass/ Was just looking at the turkey calculators and Porters says Tiger Bronze and Penciled Sweetgrass. Austrias89 says Semi Penciled Cornish Palms and Semi Penciled Sweetgrass.

They look more like tiger bronze or cornish palms, not sweetgrass. Porters calculator says semi penciled tiger bronze and semi penciled sweetgrass are the result unless the hens were semi or fully penciled.

My semi penciled sweetgrass poults don't have all the black markings. They look like regular sweetgrass with a grey dorsal stripe.

 Are your sweetgrass hens penciled @Bantambird ?

Her Sweetgrass hens did not have any penciling.

before the tiger bronze came, I had no penciling in the flock. There is a chance that the hen might be a cornish instead of a sweetgrass, she is a turkey raised turkey from last year. i stole all 13 poults because of the downpour predicted for this evening, and I am glad I did because it was a sudden deluge and I am out of extra broody pens. the babies went in with the hatch that we just moved today so it worked out really well. I am pretty sure she was the only one to lay in her nest since everyone looked pretty identical. I am surprised that so many eggs lived that long to await incubation.

Glad you saved them all! That's quite a brood! Can't wait to see pictures of them as they grow out.

Got my first two little strutters and gobblers. I don’t know how old these two are? They just started strutting and gobbling on top of their heater though, absolutely ridiculous. I’ve been looking forward to this for months haha.

These just hatched yesterday, NO STRUTTERS in this bunch.

Maybe some quackers or waddlers but no strutters.
