I ordered McMurray's 15-bird rare/heritage turkey assortment, which they said would include three different breeds of hatchery's choice. From comparing my poults with photos on the Internet, it looks like I got 5 Narragansett, 5 bourbon red, and 5 "black Spanish." The black Spanish have jet black bodies with black & white mottled heads. One of them was a slightly more faded black, the color of a black shirt that's gone through the laundry too many times, and now that its wing feathers are growing in, I can see that they are blue/gray, not black like the rest.
I guess my question is, does a blue bird pop up occasionally in this breed, or maybe it's a cross, or something else entirely?
Thanks!
