THE BLACK

The Black (fig. 6), known in England as the Norfolk turkey, is lustrous

greenish black in all sections of the plumage. Objectionable white

tipping in the feathers of young turkeys of this variety often disappears

after the first molt. Any variation from the solid black color should be

carefully avoided in breeding this variety. The shanks and toes should be

pink in mature birds and almost black in young birds.
