Wondering what turkey color varieties can start off white (if any) besides royal palm? I've got a royal palm tom, and a (best guess) golden phoenix tom, over 3 hens of various colors (Narragansett, burbon red, and something sort of calico). Half my poults are hatching out yellow, and growing in primarily white feathers - some are solid white, others have various amounts of black. Just wondering if I can expect the white ones to all end up looking like royal palms, or if there are other possibilities
 
Slate blue poults are pretty light.
Blue Slate poults are definitely not yellow and the Self Blue poults that are lighter colored are still easily distinguished from yellow/white poults.

In addition to the others that you mentioned are Sweetgrass and Calicos.

Depending on what hidden recessive color genes that your poults have, there is the possibility of producing White turkeys along with many other varieties which can also include Tri-Colors.
