In southern Mississippi, the red and smoky-gray phases of these birds occur. They are not partially domestic, as some people consider them to be. The red phase is characterized by rusty, reddish color on most body feathers; the smokey-gray birds are whitish grayish in color on parts or most of the body. There are 6 subspecies of these birds, but only a specialist can distinguish them, as they differ very slightly in color and distribution. All subspecies may measure up to 30 pounds in weight.

In the wild, the common color for these birds is black and brown, with banded tail and wings and white head and neck. The feathers of adult males have special cells that create a unique iridescent look by reflecting the light. Some tail and wing feathers of these birds glitter when you look at them from a certain angle. Melanistic and albino varieties are very rare within the species. Some aviculturists create new colors in domestic birds, but most breeders select these birds for meat and eggs, but not for their appearance.
