Have you raised them from chicks? Or from young? I have a dark one that I don't know what she is. She came from a farm that had royal palm, blue slates, and recently acquired bourbon reds. They had no clue when she hatched what happened there.I have several broad breasted bronze turkeys
Post a picture. There are several possibilities of dark colored birds from those combinations.
I was thinking bronze. And someone else here thought bronze too. But who knows? It could just be some weird genetics in play as well. She is super shy and timid. She avoids all conflict or any perceived conflict. The others will run up to me and she just says "I'll stay back here thank you."
Chicks. We buy then annually from a semi local farm store.
We kept one as! A pet, in the 4 years doing this. Her name is blue.
I would say that it is definitely not a bronze. She looks like she is exhibiting traits from the Black Winged Bronze (b1) gene and the Gray [semi-gray] (cg) gene and possibly even the Narragansett (n) gene which would indicate that her father was a Royal Palm and she is some type of cross. She appears to be at an in between stage and does not appear to have all of her mature feathers yet. Once she has all of her mature feathers you can check her against Porter's Phenotypes and Genotypes page.
