Male or female?

I was thinking that she might be a silver dapple, but there are a lot of brown feathers mixed in. Though I do not believe she is a chocolate dapple. Do silver dapple turkeys have brown feathers too? Thank you for the information.

I was told that silver dapple birds can vary. Mine is darker and yours is on the lighter end. Since they have a split bronze base it makes sense for some brown feathers to peak through.

Your bird could be a rusty dapple with the brown coming through the black. Bb cgc Rr n-. I just saw a picture of them in @austria89 's book.

Does anyone know what sex and color this heritage turkey is? I got this turkey from Porter’s on October 13, 2023. As a poult it was grey with a yellow breast similar to a slate.

She's a Silver Dapple, or possibly a Rusty Tuxedo. A little bit hard to say in that lighting.
