Poult has different color than its siblings?? Also what color are these poults??

[turkey girl 0964]

Mom is a Bronze and the dad is a sweetgrass. All the the other poults look the same except this one, it has more of a grayish white with hardly any brown, like its siblings. Does this mean it is a male or a female? Or is it just a different color? I tried to use the Turkey color calculator but I wasn’t sure what color she and the Tom are, so maybe someone could help me?

Also could I tell what sex there are or is it too early?

Bronze = bb CC dd EE NN PnPn RR SlSl SpSp
Sweetgrass = b1b1 cgcg dd EE NN RR SlSl SpSp

Unless one of the parents is carrying a hidden recessive color gene, they should all be

Bronze Semi-Color Semi-Gray = bb1 Ccg dd EE NN PnPn SlSl SpSp

Wait until they are at least 3 months old to try to sex them.

There are poults that are sex links that can be sexed at hatched but not the ones that you have.

I think you are going to have to wait until they grow up to see what differences there are.

Ok! They are about to be 1 month old. When will I really start to see the differences in their colors? 3 months?

Beautiful Tom!!

Thanks! I love him is so sweet and loving. He is a great dad and teaches them all about how be a turkey. I introduced 2 of his offspring to him and he loves them, it is so cute when they sit together, dust bath, and eat.

They should start getting their adult colors at 3 months and be complete by 6 months.

I will update you then.

If your tom is carrying a hidden Narragansett gene, it would be possible for the off colored poult to be a Narragansett Semi_Color Semi-Gray hen instead of being a Bronze Semi-Color Semi-Gray.
