WHAT IS THEIR TURKEY BREED?

[AllenJhon]

This morning, when I feed them I saw 1 egg and I know it came from my hen because it is a dotted egg. Sadly it was a crack I already made a nest for her, and I placed the cracked egg in the nest, Because I think she will lay in the nest if she saw her egg. Should I isolate the egg from the nest? I need your help guys, I don't want to see a cracked egg again

Here are some more...what would you call these colors, and what would you suspect is the breeding? The first picture is of 4 siblings about 12 weeks old. They came out of a hatching of 6; 2 bronzish, 1 gray, and 3 whitish poults. The gray and one white did not survive. The man I bought them from claimed they were going to be blue slates, but I saw a picture of the tome he looked just like the red slate on Porter's site; and the poults seemed to initially imply red slate breeding results. But, now my light colored hens seem to have a more palm look to them. One has black and tan markings, the other gray and tan. Any guesses?

Closer on the gray and tan hen

The back one is a little far away, but looks st. bronze. The gray is narragansett, the black and white is royal palm, and the lighter palm is a blue palm. One of the parents was a probably a blue palm. If so, the other parent was a bronze based bird with a single recessive black-wing bronze base gene. The other parent also had a single gray gene and a single Narragansett gene (both of these would be necessary to produce the palm and the Narragansett, unless the blue palm was the tom and the narragansett and palm offspring are all hens). So the second parent was probably a palm crossed with a bronze. If the other parent were a narragansett crossed with a palm, you could not have gotten a bird that looked like a standard bronze.

The tom is a Black Winged Bronze (notice no banding on the flight feathers) and the hen is a Narragansett.

Thanks TV. Don't know how I missed that. Something didn't seem right.

The breed is Turkey. The variety is White. There are several different white varieties and it is very difficult to tell which one it is from a photo which does not show anything that can be used to determine its size.

My guess is that it is a Broad Breasted White but it is only a guess.

That tom has to have something more than black winged bronze going on, look at that fan, some feature full pencilling yet others are totally blank.
