Red bronze is usually created by crossing bourbon red with bronze. This is my red bronze hen, Sweet Pea. She is actually eastern wild x bourbon red.

Thank you and your welcome This is my favorite boy right now. I'm not entirely sure what he would be considered but the penciling is amazing. His name is Phil

No. That crossing also produces red bronze and red bronze do not breed true. Breeding red bronze to red bronze would produce bourbon red, red bronze, and bronze. I think there may be a few minor variations too but those three are the most likely.

This is a great tool to play with here when trying to figure out color combinations.

I tried this calculator and from there it seems there are different results with male royal palm. if royal palm is female the offspring (both male and female) will be the same.

if you breed F2 Red Bronze together will manage to breed it true .will take few more generation and few tricks .

Red bronze also result from crossing Royal Palm and burbon red, or at least that's what R2elk said. It's pretty color anyway.

My Royal Palm hen has only had burbon red toms around and she's a fantastic mom. All her poults are red bronze.
