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?

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 :hugs

No problem! I like genetics, they're fun :)
 
It was a great day today!!

When closing the doors tonight I noticed the snow drift might be under 4 ft tall .. or close to under it.
Maybe you’ll find a duck or 500 under that snow drift when it melts!! :cool:
