thanks I had saved Blizzard he was a sole survivor his flock was killed off and i gave him a second chance he was "Depressed" when i found him and His owners were happy to know he was going to a home. He is very happy now, he does his happy chirp almost 24/7. I love pet turkeys and they are promised a long life since i don't eat turkey.

Same! I don't like turkey meat. I have turkeys just for pets :)
 
My mom wants to figure out if Big Tom is a Sweetgrass or just a ligther than normal narragansett turkey, or if possible an albino bronze. the person i adopted him from said his mom was a wild turkey and the father was a domesticated turkey...
do you have any ideas on what he might be?

In your usage, there is no such thing as an Albino Bronze. An albino is all white with pink eyes.

My best guess is that it is a Black Winged Narragansett (b1b1 nn) but a better possibility is a Cornish Palm (b1b1 Ccg Nn). Unfortunately there are no reference images of a Cornish Palm tom. Breeding a Royal Palm tom (b1b1 cgcg nn) to a Bronze hen that is carrying the hidden Black Winged Bronze gene (b1) would give a 25% chance of a Cornish Palm tom. You may want to contact Kevin Porter of Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys since he is the expert.
