Last year, we hatched some more turkeys from eggs. One of them we thought was a brown spanish black, because it’s soft little chick fluff was brown and a bit speckled. However, it grew up and we realized what it looked like- A wild turkey hen that was hanging around our pasture a few years ago. Then we realized that the few eggs that were not speckled- our turkey eggs are speckled, and they range between dark and dense speckles to very few or none and we thought that it had just been a normal spanish black egg, but we now think that it was a wild turkey egg- from a wild turkey that flew into the pasture and layed an egg. We don’t know if it is half black spanish or a purely wild turkey, but it is definetly not a black spanish black, even if it is a spanish black!
