I originally read that white coloring is a domestic bird on the nwtf website. I think that the bird could survive for a time...maybe not very long, but for a time. Turkeys do a lot of following. One bird leads the way and the others follow. A domestic bird would be able to do just that and get plenty of food and when the other birds run, so could the domestic. bradisthebest could be right though...it is just a color phase...
