Do you know what breed she is?

[SJUDD]

Good morning
I had a lone Royal Palm Tom and so I bought him a couple girlfriends. I know one is a Royal Palm but I do not know what the other one is.
We took 12 eggs to the neighbor, who had a broody chicken and no rooster, so she sat and we have five babies, as of yesterday. They are all black and yellow so we are thinking they are this hens offspring. I have been looking up turkey breeds all morning, trying to figure it out. Can any of you assist?
Thank you for any help

She's a crossbred. Could be a Black Spanish x Bronze cross.

The breed is Turkey. For her variety, she definitely has some black in her but I doubt that she is crossed with a bronze.

Could she be a Black Spanish x Black Mottled cross maybe. I have very little experience with crossbred turkeys. So I don't know how crossing patterns end up.

Thank you.
She and my Royal Palm hen are also both sitting on nests. I have a feeling we are going to end up with a LOT of turkeys, this year

I am not sure that she isn't a Black Slate although all black turkeys are considered Black by the APA. Many people call any black turkey a Black Spanish but in reality there are not likely any pure Black Spanish left in the U.S. What they are calling a Black Spanish overseas is anything black including barred blacks.

To learn how to determine expected colors from crosses, play with Porter's Turkey Color Calculator. The needed color genetic information can be found under the Color Varieties tab on Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys and also on the Phenotypes and Genotypes page.

When I bought her, I also bought a gray turkey (Ended up being a Tom, though, so we didn't keep him) they said "Slate", but I thought they were talking about the Grey one. I didn't realize there was a black slate as well.... I will have to see if the store remembers what turkeys they had last year... although I am not sure they will remember.
I suppose it doesn't really matter... the chicks are cute and we will probably end up with a ton of them.
Thanks, all!!

These birds came from a feed store? If so, who knows what muttly genes she has. She is definitely black based. Possible cg carrier.

I am sorry, I am new to this... what is a CG carrier?
Our local feed store gets in a shipment of chicks once a year and has a big sale. So far, everything I have gotten from them has been healthy and good quality. I got 20 Buff Orpington chickens from them, this year as well as two Broad Breasted White Turkeys.

Cg is the grey gene. Ccg is semi grey. cgcg is grey. If she came from a feed store, she is more than most likely a broadbreast and genetics could be wonky since factories hold no color standard.
