I have 5 eggs that hatched today and purchased one a few weeks ago! Out of
The 5 eggs 4 lived! 2 solid white and 2 that's brown silver white and black with yellow bellys! The large white one is starting to get black spots on the end of its feathers on its wings? What could it be I'm new to turkeys and I've read solid white chicks are royal palms and solid white turkeys have yellow chicks with buff heads?? Any advice or
Tips is appreciated! Also how do u sex them?

My Narragansett poults like like your darker one but so do my easterns although they are darker. Can't help with the white ones. Bourbon reds are usually yellow with a buff head and wings.
 
These didn't have a buff head they were solid white (yellow) I wasn't told the breeds of these eggs that recently hatched! Like I said tho the ones that hatched this morning I had 1 soild white one one that I thought was solid white but now that its fully dried it has a small tiny dark streak down its back that u can bearly see! I mean it could just be a dirty spot its almost solid yellow and then 2 darker ones but they are not super dark as u can see they have solid yellow bellys and ones a little lighter than the other but both have a lot of what looks like silver (could be white through the feathering on their backs with a little brown on their heads/neck and some grey/black I'm dying to know! This was my first turkey hatch and my first go at raising turkeys! The one I purchased about a month ago seems to be doing really good I threw 10 chicks in with him to give him/her some company and I thought it was a white turkey till I started seeing a little black come up at the end of the wing feathers and I started googling and read white broad breasted turkey chicks have a buff head and this one had no buff what so ever neither does my other 2 white ones!
