Does anyone have a Bronze x Royal Palm?

[NewChick1788]

I know this is an old post, but I bought what I was told to be a Bronze Royal Palm chick which is now a jake. He looks like he is going to be a handsome Tom with a color I can’t find online. R anything similar? Is it another breed all together??

Based on your pictures, it is not possible that your poult is the offspring of a Bronze and Royal Palm mating.

If the tom is a Bronze and the hen is a Royal Palm, all the offspring will be Bronze. The males will be carrying the black winged bronze gene (b1), the gray gene (cg) and the Narragansett gene (n). The females will be carrying the black winged bronze gene (b1) and the gray gene (cg).

If the tom is the Royal Palm and the hen is the Bronze the offspring will be sex-linked. All the males will be Bronze carrying the black winged bronze gene (b1), the gray gene (cg) and the Narragansett gene (n). The females will be Narragansett carrying the black winged bronze gene (b1) and the gray gene (cg).

Your poult appears to be carrying the red gene and probably has a Bourbon Red in it's lineage. It is still the breed Turkey but is definitely a different variety than either a Bronze or Royal Palm or a Narragansett.

So basically the offspring won't show much of a change from the bronze. Although, the offsprings offspring can show changes down the line depending on what they breed with. Correct? It would be Bronze tom with RP hen. Thank you, you are veyr helpful. Now I have to figure out what my black turkeys are all about. They were given to me so I don't know the sex yet and I have to find out who the parents were. They are about 2 months old.

I have a ton of these running around my yard. Dad is a heritage bronze and Mom is a royal palm. They are speckled gray and white. One of them one of them looks exactly like the father he is all bronze. And I have two black poults. I've had white ones in the past with gray spots with the parents. So there's quite a variety.

Your Black poults cannot be the offspring from a Bronze tom and a Royal Palm hen. The black color gene is dominant and only needs one gene to be displayed.

Neither a Bronze or a Royal Palm has a black gene.

It is possible for the Royal Palm hen to be the mother if she was bred by a Black turkey or at least a tom carrying the Black gene such as a Barred Black, a Chocolate or a dominant Slate.
