I got some breeders choice crossbred poults from Porter’s recently. There’s some that have residual marker on them I think, but I can’t really tell what they may be. Anyone want to help me identify what types I have here?

I’ll update and take more pictures as they grow. At this stage I don’t think it’s possible to know all of them for sure. Had several losses from postage, but as of now there are eleven poults in total:

The image clearly shows that they are all crosses and none of the other listed varieties.
Yes, they’re crosses so they won’t breed “true” but I thought they would still fall into types. some have pinkish red marker on them. #8 looks like a painted to me. And there’s pink indicated on the form for that variety. I guess I was confused and thought that they would be identifiable. Haha clearly I do not understand… Will these will be totally random unclassifiable turkeys?

You will likely have to wait until they have mature plumage and even then it will take controlled breedings to try to find what hidden recessives they may or may not be carrying.
