Heritage Turkey Poult - Mystery

What color will this turkey look like when it gets older??? 

Well, that's the mystery.

These heritage turkeys are from our mixed backup flock and will produce poults that are possibly white, bronze, blue, red, or some mixture of all of the above.

At our farm all of our turkeys are on pasture all year long and are protected by portable electric netting (and solar energizers). They are regularly rotated to fresh pastures.

Because they are outside and we farm with nature instead of against nature, sometimes predators attack our flocks (albeit rare).  

Just because these poults come from our backup flock, does not mean that the breeders are not of the highest quality.  In the event of a fox/coyote/etc... attack, we can sub in some of the breeders from our backup flock in with the purebreds to maintain a solid bloodline of turkeys on our farm.

More than likely these birds will be some sort of a bronze mix and will resemble wild turkeys (just with an extra splash of color).  But because they are from a mixed flock you may end up with some really cool patterns not regularly seen.

These birds still maintain the characteristics that normal heritage turkeys have: athletic/good foragers/flight/reproduce naturally/etc... but may or may not look like a "normal" turkey.

So we'll pass the savings on to you for the mystery heritage turkeys.
