Heritage Turkey Hen ID

[Georgiahome622]

Hi turkey lovers!

I have two 14 week old heritage hens and would appreciate your help identifying the varieties. They look very similar, though one of them has a lot of buff coloring while the other is gray, charcoal, black, white.

The one with the buff is Rosie, the other one is Penny.

Thanks for your help!

I am guessing a Golden Narragansett and either a Narragansett or a mixed Narragansett.

yes the more reddish one has a red allele (Golden Narragansett).
