My blue slate turkeys suck at math

[nhrocks]

So I have a trio of blue slates. Hatched out a clutch of eggs, expecting 50% slate, 25% self blue, and 25% black.

Got 11 live poults. 3 slate, 2 self blue, and 6 black. They have failed their statistics class. (The two that made it to lockdown but didn't hatch? Black lol)

(To avoid lectures, I fully understand that each egg is a roll of the dice genetically, and with a larger clutch I'd likely get closer to the expected ratio. Just a little surprised at the results.)

Trying to sell the little guys ... what should I advertise the black poults as? They're not black Spanish, they're just ... black lol

Advertise them as blacks with blue genes, some people might get confused and think they are wearing blue jeans though, so be ready for some dumb questions.

Well I posted pics. Described them. Pics of parents.

Have already gotten three people who said they want some, but they don't respond when I try to set up a time. That makes me so mad. Then another guy set up a time, I waited for him, and then he texts me that he doesn't feel like driving on a rainy day so isn't coming. Wasted my afternoon waiting for him.

Is courtesy such a foreign thing these days??

I hate Craigslist.

Those are all reasons that I sell nothing these days, that and the potential killing and robbery.
