Turkey Poult Identification - Pictures Added

[Lagerdogger]

Its hard to tell the actual color of the "bronze" poults in that picture. It may be a little overexposed. if the bellies are yellow rather than white, and the markings are paler than the standard bronze, they could be red bronze or golden narragansett. They look lighter and more yellow than st. bronze in the photo, but I can't tell fopr sure. If the bellies are white, and the marks are dark brown, they are bronzes or narragansetts. After re-reading your post where you describe them as mostly yellow, I would go with red bronze.

Red bronze turkeys are standard bronze with a red gene added (or bourbon reds with a red gene missing). If you cross a bourbon red and a standard bronze, you get red bronze.

Hopefully, here is a picture of poults that look like red bronze. They are actually bourbon red X royal palm because I need additional genes to get the birds I eventually want to produce.

Looks like they will be black with a hint of stripping in the wings.
So my guess is a cross between a bronze and a black.(black can be a slate)

Ok, I don't have any pics as of yet but I bought some hatching eggs from a local man that said his turkeys were Bronze. I never saw the adults in person, the pics I saw of them though looked like a regular bronze turkey to me. Some of my poults hatched yesterday, 4 look like bronze but with a red tint, 1 looks like a black poult and 2 are colored the same as the black (yellow face, very dark legs, dark beaks) except they are a deep red color.

Is it correct to call a less than one year old turkey, not chicken, a poult or pullet?

Pullet is a chicken term and never applies to a turkey. If it is more than 6 months old you can call it a turkey. If it is still immature, less than six months old you can call it a poult.

Simply, adult female turkey is called a hen. While a young female turkey is named as Jenny. Similarly, adult male turkey is Tom or gobbler while the young male turkey is Jake. Young ones of both male or female are named a poult.
