Since recessive white hides pretty much everything, he could be homozygous or heterozygous for many of the other color genes.

You should check the eye color of your Midget White tom. If his eyes are brown, he is bronze based and could be bb or bb1 or b1b1. If the eyes are blue he is black based, most likely (BB). In my experience, one must get very close to be able to actually see what the eye color is. To me, all...

I am beginning to think he does not have a Royal Palm tom but instead has a Calico tom. A Calico tom on a Bronze hen would give the apparent sex linked results that he has. A "Royal Palm" that has any color in its feathers other than black or white is not a Royal palm. I have personally seen...

If your Royal Palm had a recessive red (r) color gene it would be expressed and not be hidden and your tom would not be a Royal Palm (b1b1 cgcg RR nn) but would be a Calico (b1b1 cgcg Rr nn). It is possible for a Royal Palm to have a hidden recessive brown (e) color gene but I doubt that is the...

Barring any hidden recessive color genes crossing a Royal Palm tom on a Bronze hen (for color genetic purposes a BBB is a Bronze) you should have gotten 2 results. All the hens should be Narragansett Semi-Color Semi-Gray split: Black Winged Bronze(b1) and all the toms should be Bronze...

If it has any colors other than black and white, it is not a Royal Palm.

He is a good looking tom whatever he is and not being a Spanish Black is not going to change how you feel about him or how he feels about you. Enjoy your turkeys.

Look closely at the wing feathers, the black turkey has pure black wing feathers. The barred black has bars of white and black on the wing feathers. I assumed that you would not have known any different about your tom because that is what someone else told you he is.

There are lots of people passing off turkeys as being a different variety than they actually are. Sometimes it is because they don't know any better and sometimes it is done deliberately. Both varieties are heritage turkeys but it is wrong to go around claiming a turkey is a variety that it is...

Your tom has barred wing feathers which definitely means he is not a Spanish Black. He is most likely a Barred Black.

She looks like a wild turkey hen.
