What kind of turkeys are these?

[HarpersGirl]

I was gifted with a Tom and hen (pictured here) with no previous turkey experience. They hatched out three eggs and their offspring is the darkest one (also pictured here). I'm having a hard time understanding what I've been reading about turkey genetics. I think the Tom is a Nagaransett but not sure. Totally clueless about the hen though.

Here's another picture of Thomas... I know, not a very original name. Lol

Tom is a calico or sweetgrass not narragansett.

Have a better pic of the hen?

To me Tom looks like a mix, too dark to be sweetgrass.

Since I have not been able to find a photo of a Cornish Palm tom, I wonder if this could be one.

You can contact Kevin Porter or do a search for their Facebook group. They are very knowledgeable and good at identifying color varieties of turkeys.

Feedman77, here is a better picture of the hen.

Thanks everyone. I bought two Narragansett poults about a week ago. They are so sweet. I never really got to get too close to the others because our hen kept them at a distance.

So Calico or sweetgrass, or a mix most likely? I will email Kevin Porter and see if I can't get a definitive.

Your hen looks like a mottled black.

Agree on the mottled black gen

LOL....I have a Tom turkey whose name is Tom as well. Seems fitting !

This turkey looks to me like part Royal Palm with a sprinkle of something else mixed in
