Not sure if I'll be doing much selling, but I'm pretty excited about having them.

I know you like the Amer's, what is it that makes them one of your favorites?

I've been discussing the genetics and swapping photos with Kevin Porter and Dana Manchester, who are the gurus on turkey color genetics. Dana is suspecting that these will end up as Midnight Moons or Blood Moons, depending on whether the red we are seeing is an expression of the blackwing bronze gene or if it's based on a true red gene. Either way they promise to be lovely, and large, turkeys. The Moon colors have two bronze, two gray, and two Narragansett genes (toms) or one (hens). Blood Moon has a single red gene added, Blue Moon has a single slate gene added. The white poult is actually good, it proves that both parents carry a recessive white gene since white only expresses when two copies are present. Oregon Gray have a gray and a white gene instead of the two grays of the Moons.

Yep I bought them because I thought the uniqueness would make them good sellers. They weren't, for all the reasons you mentioned. People that like them love them, but it's a small audience

And colored legs... that was the bit I wasn't sure about...

Way over my head, but I bet they are going to be gorgeous!
