I cornered Pretty Girl to show her wing barring. She was not happy with me.

You can see pretty nicely that she carries a black-winged bronze gene.

Rosabelle hatched and raised her. She is tolerant at most, more of a lurkey turkey. She will cry if you hold her, but she is a good girl otherwise, and a good mommy just like her mommy. I let her rear her first clutch last year with great success, I figured a hen raised hen would raise babies well and I was right.

Her daddy was a burbon red and her mom is a royal palm.

Yes, this fits perfectly.

Rosabelle is a royal palm and mother to Pretty Girl, the red bronze hen next to her. Good example of red bronze, her. Very pretty color.

Very nice looking bird name fits her well.

Yes thank you. She is a very nice looking hen. As I thought red bronze does not have full pronounced wing barring like eastern or bronze birds.

It can depend on how the Red Bronze was made. Crossing a Bourbon Red with a Bronze will make a Red Bronze that is bb CC Rr and should have full pronounced wing barring. It will look slightly different than @Bantambird 's Red Bronze that is bb1 Ccg Rr but both are Red Bronzes.

Thanks again for going through all the trouble getting those pics.
