What are they?

[PMc]

I purchased six poults in september and was told they were two to three weeks old. They were sold as royal palms. Can you help me identify the type of palm they are and sex if possible. They are approximately four months old in the photos.

Welcome to BYC! They are very pretty, but I have no idea what breed they are.

Shame on you. The breed is turkey. What variety they are is an entirely different thing.

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

Probably mixed breeds.

They look more like Narragansett.

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.

They look like young Narragansett's.

Definitely not Narragansett.

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.
