What kind of mutt turkeys do you think I have?

[peewee]

I have never really cared what breed any of my birds are usually. I buy the birds that are pretty to me since I am the one that has to look at them. But these girls are relativity new for me and since I have put them in with all the others, I have had a couple people ask me what kind they are. I end up looking at these people and shrugging my shoulders saying "I have no clue!". I would like to have a little more educated guess to tell anyone who asks again. Any thoughts would be very appreciated.

No such thing as mutts in turkeys.

They look like Golden Narragansetts to me. What do you think? http://www.porterturkeys.com/goldennarragansett.htm

Yes there are, when they don't breed true and are a mix match of whatever then they are mutts. The APA states to be a breed they have to breed true 50% of the time, tacking a name on a random color variety does not make them a breed.

I have hens and roos that I hatched last spring which are a cross of Bourbon Reds and Royal Palms...they're absolutely gorgeous and look NOTHING like either of their parents. They are the dark ones.

ETA: The "babies" are now mating/laying and I have 3 hens sitting on eggs, so it will be interesting to see what I get this time around!

They look more like a standard Narragansett http://www.porterturkeys.com/narragansett.htm have you any offspring from them? Their weights would probably help too.

WhiteMountainsRanch, These girls are the latest ones in the flock. I have only had them a couple of months so right now I do not have any chicks from them that I bred. HOWEVER, hen #1 is a chick from hen #2 if I can believe the people I bought them from. I do not have any weights on them.
So at this time I am looking at a Narragansett or a Narragansett cross. Thank you!!


KellyHM, Very good looking flock you have there!!!
