I will create another thread called "Turkey Genetics Feedback" where you can ask questions, complain, correct inaccuracies, or boo me off. If you want to about turkey color genetics or the different varieties out there, check out Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys website, the FeatherSite, or the Turkey Color Genetics 101 Facebook group. These are the best available sources on turkeys genetics and varieties.
The turkey color calculator operates based on the principles of Mendelian genetics. By inputting the color genes of the parent turkeys, it uses established genetic laws to predict the potential color outcomes of the offspring. This tool allows poultry farmers and geneticists to predict turkey color traits with impressive accuracy.

Turkey Color Calculators I have developed my own turkey color calculators. One for advanced users that are familiar with turkey color genotypes. The other is a version for the novice in turkey genetics where you can calculate offspring results by selecting variety names.
the color of a turkey is a complex and fascinating topic. There are many factors that contribute to the coloration of a turkey, including genetics, environment, and diet. The color of a turkey can also vary depending on the time of year.
