Very easy to make some yourself- you already have black hens.. just breed them with any barred rooster and you will have barred turken babies. Barred is just the barring over a black chicken.
Barring over other colors make birds in various colors with barring, although often the barring is weaker. Creles is the same barring over a red duckwing.. Barred buffs and reds seem to be becoming popular.. I had a really nice looking red barred turken rooster out of cross of barred turken with a New Hampshire.
Whites seem pretty rare.. I had a white bantam rooster(from Duane Urch- he ships eggs and day olds).. have couple pullets and rooster out of him(all cuckoo).. may breed them this year but trying hard to keep numbers low..
