These rare turkey varieties are caused by genetic mutations passed from one generation to the next. This heredity means that certain morphs can become more abundant in certain regions, wherever the genetic variants arise.
Introduction Genetics is the science of how traits are passed from one generation to another. Turkey color genetics questions are common on this site, and some people have asked for a guide to color genetics. Hopefully this thread will be a useful reference. I will create another thread called "Turkey Genetics Feedback" where you can ask questions, complain, correct inaccuracies, or boo me off.
The full color expression gene (C) is dominant, while the white allel (c) is recessive and leads to white plumage, regardless of other color genes involved. The gray allele (cg) affects pheomelanin and black pigmentation, with significant impact on Black-Winged Bronze turkeys. The mottling allele (cm) slightly reduces pigmentation in black.
Smokey Gray "Probably the most common wild turkey color phase is the smoke phase," Hatfield said. "Its mutation is based on the fact that it has no brown pigments within its feathers. Coloration varies, but white is typically the dominant tone with black and dark gray contrasting tones, especially on the back, wings and tail feathers.".
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.

Why the bird looked so different is a question at the heart of a new study on wild turkey genetics. There has long been a history of odd-colored Eastern wild turkeys: so-called "smoke phase" and "red phase" birds, turkeys with solid black primary feathers, and birds with mottled plumage, like the wormy vermiculations across a brook trout's back. The roots of such variations are.
