I guess you already know my secret. I'm called Bantambird not because I have bantams, but because I am bantam sized. It's my handle on a lot of places, makes me giggle when I used to play video games online and get asked what a Bantambird is. But yeah, get used lick tubs. Perfect sized turkey bath tubs.

I knew you were a bantie!!!

My guess is that your "Bronze" hen is not a pure Bronze. There isn't a whole lot of difference visually between a Bronze and a Bronze Semi-Color Semi-Gray split to Black Winged Bronze. However if you use a Royal Palm tom over a Bronze Semi-Color Semi-Gray hen you can produce Sweetgrass and Royal Palms among others.

There are many backyard breeders producing mixed turkeys and selling them as something they are not because neither they or their buyers know any better.

Good luck.

congratulations,,, I still think the J shaped poop has more to do with if the turkey is walking straight sideways or backwards than what sex it is.....


Now if you dangle a ring on a string over it I will believe it......not~

You could get those results with a pure Royal Palm tom but not by mating him with a pure Bronze hen. Many hatcheries sub out their orders to small farms that while they are NPIP certified that does not mean they necessarily have pure stock. There are unethical people all over the world.
