The white wing bandages are the result of a mutation that displaced the bronze coloring and are not known in breeds outside of the United States . The beak is horn-colored, the head red to bluish white and the beard, a tuft of elongated breast feathers, black. The thighs and feet are salmon-colored.
The eggs of the Narragansett turkey are large, speckled, and pale cream to medium brown in color.
