did you get a chance to read the new email that kevin wrote this morning
Dark Brown turkey pictures is the title, so your also a member of the color
genetics group cool that is nice to hear that more people are members of the turkey color genetics
group, in the new email is where kevin said my turkeys also carry the oregon gray genes
he wrote it in the email this morning, the tittle is dark brown turkey pictures
i will get a picture of the tail of my turkeys but i dont know how to get
them to stay still, when i try to catch them they start jumping everywhere
but i would do my best to get a picture of their tail, by tommorow i can get a pic
it rain today and their is too much water i can take a picture so you
can see the yard it almost looks like a river it rain alot today
i am going to ask kevin if i can mail him some of the feathers
so he can compare them to his turkeys i dont think it would
cost that much to mail some feathers to indiana they fairly light
it might cost the same price as sending a letter or a little bit more

The responce I read was you asking "What kind of Chocolate Turkeys do I have?" And Kevin said "Looks like some unpure chocolates and some auburns from what I can tell.
Pure chocolates do not have barring, or white feathers."

What I see is the question about Dark Brown turkeys was the girl you bought your turkeys from, not your turkeys. Her pictures do not look like your either.

I have been breeding turkeys as long as Kevin has. I have been a member of the genetics board and other turkey boards for awhile now. Genetics is why I breed turkeys and other animals. You should read the Files so you get a clue what everyone is talking about. You do not seem like you are understanding what is being said to you and you get angry.

These also carry the cg, gray gene, this is what makes them
different. In the one photo that Sunsfan posted it shows a chocolate
expressing a couple mostly white wing coverts, this is a sure indicator of the cg
gene,so you definitely have that in your lines if these birds came from you

tommorow i will take pictures of the wings and tail of the turkeys
they do not like to be catch, they will eat from my hand but when
i want to pick them up they start jumping and dont stay still
i can take a picture of my turkeys every month to
see if there is a difference in the feathers
i will post a picture of my turkeys every month in my album
at turkey color genetics group, so we can see if there is a color difference
in their feathers as they age, the age of my turkeys
is 14 weeks old to 3 months old so there color of their feathers
look different as they mature like for instance lets
compare the mottled chocolate we see it at
two and three months old, then at one to three years old
there is alot of difference in their feathers as they mature

You know that odd palm I posted pictures of, with the brown gene? She also is from parents of Sandhill birds.

Hello, I was just searching for turkeys to purchase here in AZ, and happened upon your forum.
Does anyone have full-grown bronze, royal palm or any other colorful, full-feathered turkeys for sale in the phoenix area?
