Excited over New color!

[Okla-doodle-doo]

I was at a local swap last weekend and a guy had the most beautiful two turkey hens I ever saw! They were a beautiful orangey peach color! I ask him what breed they were because I had never seen it before in person or even picture. He chuckled and said " they are broad breasted whites!. I live in Kentucky and have that Kentucky red clay. stains everything!" I couldn t help but laugh. He got me and a bunch of others on those two birds. But they sure were pretty.

I'm excited to get chocolates and cross to blues... which will make mauve sex linked mauve hens! I don't even know what color that is... but guarantee no one around here has them!

Got pics? Lets see your perty turkeys.

I don't know where you got this information but it does not appear to agree with Porter's Turkey Color Calculator.

You have to use a Chocolate tom to get the sex links and crossing a Chocolate tom with a Blue Slate hen is supposed to produce 25% Blue Slate males carrying a hidden recessive brown (e) gene, 25% Black toms carrying a hidden recessive brown (e) gene, 25% Light Self Blue Semi- Semi-Slate hens and 25% Chocolate hens.

I didn't know about this, I will have to look it up. Thank you!

Maybe I better change my order.

Still excited!

Using a Chocolate tom over a Blue Slate hen will give you sex links just perhaps not the colors you were expecting. Using a Blue Slate tom over a Chocolate hen will not yield sex linked poults.
