Turkey Poult

[lafavekaylin]

Hello! My Turkey was sitting on 13 eggs and only one sweet baby hatched. She is a blue slate and the Tom was a bourbon red. She is much darker than I pictured her to be! Any ideas what she is gonna look like as she gets older?

Looks to be a Rusty Black there are 2 varieties that would come from them if they are true Bourbon Red tom over Slate hen. Rusty Black and Rusty Slate are the 2 varieties they would produce. There are a couple turkey calculators that are very helpful with this.
