(EDIT) I have put pictures of the strange one. I'm looking for what breed he could be. And how.
So I have what we presume is a Spanish black Tom and a narragansett jenny. She laid eggs in the chicken coop and I hatched 3 of then in the incubater! 2 came out as expected with them being healthy little Spanish black turkeys. But, the last one to hatch is. Stripped with a darker brown and almost yellow tipped feathers. I have pictures of the parents abs one of the babies. I'll get a picture of the Strang one asap but what could've happened? Could it be a narragansett or did the Jenny do something with wild turkeys? We do have alot of them in the area.

My biggest issue we don't really have any idea on what the tom is for sure. He was a rescue. I looked for a few common ones we figured but none of which should be giving me anything but pure Spanish black
He looks like a Black.

FYI, Spanish Blacks were called that because of the location they were raised (Spain). There really aren't any Spanish Blacks anymore.

Spanish Black is not a recognized variety. Black is the recognized variety.

One site that claims to be selling Spanish Blacks is selling mixed Blacks as Spanish Blacks. Most of their images depict Barred Blacks.

For the purpose of using the Turkey Calculators, a Black is BB with all the other settings being the normal settings.

The Narragansett is (bb n-) because she is a hen, she has only one Narragansett gene.

Because the hen is a different variety, you will not get any pure Blacks from the pairing.
