Turkey types

[guntur]

Hello all..
I keep this turkey, do you know what the correct name for this type?
I plan to make an article on my website about this type of turkey so that the community in my place that is Indonesia can better understand about different types of turkeys ... and my son really likes this turkey ....thanks

I'm not sure, but the closest match I found on google was a dindon de ronquières.

It is definitely not a Golden Palm.

I repeat that it certainly appears to be a Calico The give away is the tail feather band being black on the outer feathers and red on the inner tail feathers.

Calicos are b1b1 cgcg nn Rr. Because of their heterozygous red color gene, they will not breed true.

R2elk put that link in his post above yours... it's the highlight word calico

They are Calico and will not breed true, they will also produce red palm and royal palms which will breed true to color type. The Calico is similar to the Sweetgrass but is lighter in color due to the heterozygous red gene.
