Let's play guess the Turken color! Help me out!

[Mandalina]

OK turken lovers, I need some help! (And non-turken lovers too, gimme some feed back

)

This is Snow White(5 weeks), she started off completely white, now turning reds,yellows and has some gray feathers...and still white areas

This is Belle (5 weeks), started off black and brown now getting funky.Very similar to my partridge banty's...

And this is Cinderella (5 weeks). Started off a strawberry blonde, pretty sure she will be a red when fully feathered but would like backup on that assumption lol.

And I didnt have to picture my black turken Aurora, she is all black with black eyes and black legs lol. I think I got her pegged.

I am not an expert, but i THINK that you got Aurora right. she probably is a black LOL.
I have always wondered what baby turkens looked like.... weird.......

Snow White almost looks Blue Wheaten

- But I doubt it.

Cinderella is Buff.

Belle is beautiful and probably some sort of Partridge.

 

[Mandalina]

Isnt Belle lovely? I am so in love with her and she is the sweetest bird.

Snow white looks like someone threw her into the dryer with a few crayons and turned it on

I got a couple non-turken chicks that look like snow white. They are blue laced red wyandotte crossed with either BC or wheaten marans. Could be the twin of yours but with neck feathers. They have kind of a patchwork look. Mine is just a little bit darker on the blue parts.
Here is one with my micro chicks:

OMG, now I want a micro-chick!!!!How cute are they?!
And I love your bigger chick's coloring, it is very similar!

Most likely Snow white and Cinderella will be black tailed buffs. This is a link to Lisa's post on the turken thread.. the two hens under her white frizzle are black tailed buffs. The buff body color can come either lighter, in a buff color or darker, looking more orange.. almost the majority of hatchery stock turkens is this color.

Belle is pretty uncommon for a hatchery stock color. Possibly will be partridge-ish looking as adult.

 

[Mandalina]

Oh,those hens are pretty! I cannot wait to see Cinderella and Snow White when all their feathers come in!

And I though Belle would be like my older turken hen, her body is mostly black with brown/gold on her bowtie and head. She was a hatchery chick too. Belle is so going to be the prettiest chicken I own when she is fully grown

Thanks for the feedback, I know not everybody loves turkens but to me they are adorabibble and so spunky!

 

[Kev]

I do think those hens are beautiful, I have one except her tail is blue.

Belle may end up looking like what you said.. with those it seems hard to be exactly sure without knowing what their parents looked like. I suspect she may end up with a lot more brown on the body, possibly brown lacing on a dark feather over most of the body. Just a guess.

Turkens are my favorite. I had to reduce my flock quite a bit.. almost all of the remaining chickens are turkens, and will be ALL turkens when it's all done and settled.

Be sure to add pictures to the other thread as your cute babies grow! I think many of us would like to see how Belle turns out in particular..

this is how mine turned out she started with the same look as your chick. She will turn out to be pretty and all mine had awsome personalities.jeff
