She is two months old, so the crest may get larger. Dad is Midget White and mom is an Eastern Wild. I thought I had the birds separated, but this poult is no pure EWT.

The young female shows a Narragansett phenotype.
The crest does not look as prominent as in the one I saw on facebook.
As your female is already much older than the one I saw, I don't think that the crest will increase much. Does also not look like the typical cresting.

Pretty neat. I had not heard of it either until I got one and started looking online.

Really interesting how crested turkey are now popping up everywhere.
I just saw a crested turkey last week on Facebook.

Pictures would be very much appreciated.

Fascinating!
