What are they?

If you want them sexed, you need to show individual pictures of them with one shot from the rear of the turkey looking down towards the back of its neck and top of its head and a second shot from the side showing the whole turkey preferably standing erect.

Since only two of the turkeys in the photos have their heads showing it is impossible to sex all four. The turkey in the front and the turkey on the left appear to be hens.

Thanks for your input...to cold for a photo op...

My guess is that they are Tri-Colors and heterozygous for penciling (Pnpn). Your best bet to get them identified is by contacting Kevin Porter at Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys.

Thanks I took your advice just waiting for a reply.

Their heads and Feathering suggest a mix from a bronze breed. We raised broad-breasted bronze which is a little bit different they're more of a hybrid. I see a little bit of bronze in them. What they are crossed with I don't know.

lol, my bad. Of course I know they are turkeys, and I'm pretty sure they aren't Royal Palms.

That might be what bronze mixed with.View media item 7894036View media item 7894035View media item 7894034View media item 7894033

They also have a Facebook genetics group that you can do a search for.

They are very likely a mix that includes a Royal Palm. The Royal Palm (b1b1 cgcg nn) has the Black Winged Bronze (b1) color gene. To me these look like they could be either Sweetgrass penciled (b1b1 cgcg Pnpn) or Golden Narragansett semi-pencilled ( bb1 Ccg nn Rr Pnpn) or possibly variation of a Calico.

Of course I could be wrong about there being any partial penciling going on.

So pretty, but I know nothing about turkeys. Just wanted to say they’re beautiful
