I raised my 2 blue slate boys from babies. They are huge and very, very sweet. I can give them hugs and they follow me around. They are beautiful.

does she have an accent?

- that would be an easy way to tell

What do you think of mine? One is blue and one brown blue..... I call them both blue but I don't know any better

This is definitely a cross from a Blue Slate. It might be a Rusty Slate but I am not sure.

Check out the different color varieties at Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys and his various colors page also.

I ordered a dozen Royal Palm turkey eggs this spring. Sadly, only 2 hatched and 1 isn't a Royal Palm. We believe she is a Blue Slate. Can anyone confirm this by the pics? She's become my husband's pet. And pest. Wherever he is, she is.

How cute is this!

Those are beautiful turkeys. Does anyone know of a source online to get blue slate turkeys?

Ive orderd chicks from strombergs before. Not turkeys.
But to get 15 (minimum ) its 150$ With shipping included. Not to bad.

I have a blue slate hen, she is beautiful. She is the one that laid the eggs last month. Hoping two of them will hatch, the others did nothing.
I also have 2 SPanish Blacks and 6 Bourbon Reds.
