Could anyone help with colors?

I got the pictures

I see one wing feather that does look like it has some barring. Don't have a clue why your black has a white feather.

Definitely not a Rusty Slate.

Definitely not a Rusty Slate.

Do you think the all white poult will look like a royal palm? I know broad breasted birds don’t live long, but I don’t think it could be one, none of my birds are broad breasted but those are the only two white turkeys I know of

White turkeys can happen in any variety. Royal Palms do start out white and start developing some color when the wing colors come in.

Just because a turkey is white doesn't automatically mean it is broad breasted. Beltsville Small White aren't broad breasted.

For it to be a Royal Palm means at least one of the toms would have to be carrying a Narragansett color gene.

The fact that your Slate tom is not a Lavender makes it likely that he is the father of the poults. If he is split to white (carrying the recessive white color gene) makes it possible to produce white poults when mated with a hen that is also split to white.

Can you tell if a turkey is split to white like you can with peafowl? Split to white peafowl will have at least one white primary feather.

No. They can be split to white without any outside sign of it as far as I know.

Thank you very much for your help

I’ve had some tragedies recently. My favorite turkey nested in the uncut hay and was attacked. I tried to prevent this with Ramsey but she didnt like being caged and trampled her babies.

long story short I have just three poults left. Here are the colors now that they are older
