A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

@duluthralphie If you want to do a sex linked cross, mate a Royal Palm tom with a Bourbon Red hen. All of the female offspring will be Golden Narragansetts carrying a hidden Black Winged Bronze gene and all the male offspring will be Red Bronze carrying a hidden Black Winged Bronze gene and a hidden narragansett gene.

Cool...Now if I only had a red.... LOL

I did forget or not know the RP carried the Narragansett gene. At my age it is hard to tell which.

Thanks for reminding me, I took it's picture and promptly forgot to post it.. Old age is setting in more and more..

Its the lighter colored one, I can try to crop and pull it in if needed. It looks almost mottled. It does not look like any other bronze I have.

I got 3 birds a while back. They are about 17 weeks old now...The lady hatched shipped eggs and all 12 hatched.

She was told they could be Red Bourbon, Standard bronze and saw palm. Seems like they are a mix.. Is the whiter one a sweetgrass or a calico, or what? not sure but looks like a hen still ... is the red one a rusty bronze? I think a jake....and I think the other is a hen and a bronze.

tail of red jake, does this look like penciling? sorry for bad pic but they are camera shy and phone pics
