Genetica Calculators en Erfelijkheid

There are also other genetic calulators on the website. They have various degrees of accuracy. But they are a good starting point which is the intention.

Porter's or Franz Lehner's are the only calculators you should go to for any authority on turkeys. I swear they are in a competition to produce the fancier calculator! They're both the experts in their field and both on the cutting edge.

They are sort of the reason I don't go much into turkey genetics, despite turkeys being my favorite animal. I really can't say anything that hasn't been said by them, and turkeys are really only understood by them and I don't really see the different turkey colors often.
