Another attempt at hatching turkeys

[Jay262]

Well here we go again this time out of a dozen eggs only half were good and then out of those only half hatched so I have 3 poults. So if I lose half of these I will have 1 and a half turkeys a step up from last hatch

Anyhow these I am told were burbon red x sweetgrass turkeys im wonder though does anyone know what color are the yellows gonna feather out to be white or possibly brown?

if they have a gray back stripe-- sweetgrass

 

[Jay262]

Silly me I guess I should have atleast put up a pic......

 

[Arielle]

I don't see the gray striping that is typical of the sweetgrass poults. You might inquire about the breeds of the hens and toms; could be both are crosses and that resulted in the white poults. MInd you, I"m not an expert on color genetics by any means.

These chicks are burbon red x sweetgrass poults.
