A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I was just playing with the calculator. With my current girls, he would still give me Bourbon reds and red bronze babies. I would have to breed his daughters back to him to get the regal reds which are pretty neat looking. Not sure if I'll do it or not. Could be something to try out but who knows. I don't have a ton of space to work with.

Ralph we need to AI one of your hens from my tom... In the color calculator if you do calico over blue slate this is what you get... Mottled!!! And Mottled slates which I cant find pics of so either they are the same or they are rare!!

The regal reds could be next years project He's going to make pretty babies regardless....

Do you have hatched babies yet?

Beautiful Holm! You can breed your show slates to him! How exciting!
