Breed of Turkey?

[rnoyster]

Hey all, I had one poult hatch out of 16 shipped eggs last week. The lady that I bought them from marked each egg with the breed that had laid it.
QUESTION.....This poult is supposed to be a nargasett (sp?), but it is a real soft yellow and since it is starting to grow some wing feathers they appear to be barred like possibly it is a Royal Palm. I cannot attach a picture at this time due to camera problems. But what does it sound like to you? Do nargasetts have white wing feathers with black barrs?

Don't know about Nargs but Royal Palms have solid colored wing feathers and palms are solid yellow when hatched.

Well, after looking at the above posted site, I may have a nargasett after all. I didn't know that they were that heavily barred. Hopefully it is a Tom! Thanks for the information.

Baby narries look like baby wilds and bronze, brown on top with black stripes and creamy yellow tummy.

At first they sorta feather out like bronze too, but they have more of a grey cast to them.

Hey I am having this same problem. I looked at the website above and could not find one to match. Does anyone know what these are. I know they are some sort of heritage breed. I had two turkey eggs out of 18 eggs and they hatched Sunday. One is Red colored and the other is yellow and brown. I have them in with three polish chicks. Here are some pics of them.

The red one.

The yellow and brown one.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. One is also starting to get the little thing on top of its head. LOL

The yellow is either a Royal Palm or one of the white breeds. The dark red one has me completely buffaloed. It is much too dark to be a bourbon red. The other one looks like a baby Nari or bronze.

Thanks! Me too. I have looked everywhere on the net and can not find anything that looks like this one. The only thing that remotely looks like it is a black spanish, but they have more white in their face.

That Red one looks exactly like the dozens of poults we hatched last year out of my friends Jersey Buff hen and Merriam Wild Tom!!! They grow up looking like a Wild with a lot of Red/brown on them. You can see the wild pattern but the Brown colour just seems to cover everything. We called them chocolates because they look dark brown as adults.
