What breed of Turkey @Pyxis

Broad Breasted White - an eating turkey. But they can live normal lives without dying unlike meat chickens, though maybe not as long as a heritage bird could live. They just can't breed on their own.

What did mom and dad look like?

Here's a pic of Mom & Dad duck

Tom was all brown as a duckling, and Fraggles was all yellow. Some of the offspring are silver with yellow others are light brown with yellow...I am able to see a couple with eye stripes.

Dad looks like he's khaki, maybe? And mom seems to be fawn and white? If yes, the ducklings should be 'lilac mallard' partial pied - that is, blue and chocolate on the mallard base, with some patches of white.

Yeah dad is khaki campbell...lilac sounds a lot like what I'm seeing at this age, also the yellow patches I guess will turn to white. Thank you for the genetics translation

No problem! I like genetics, they're fun

Maybe you’ll find a duck or 500 under that snow drift when it melts!!
