Take another look at the picture of poults. Both poults (2) are rusty blacks with three barred chicks. They should be Mottled Rusty Blacks just like the dad, since both parents have a Narragansett gene. If the dad had two red genes he would be a Mottled Buff.
This is about the colors of the birds, correct? How do I figure out what breed the parents are? I have had people ask me before, and I am am clueless as what to what they are. I thought about selling any that I did not keep, but what would I call them? By a breed or just by the colors that they are. Both parents have absolutely wonderful dispositions, and I hope they remain that way.
So the first clutch would have looked more like Pearl, and this last clutch should look more like Reggie? And if I am understanding correctly, is unusual. With in a full clutch, the chicks should be a mixture of both examples?
I wish I could find a picture of Reggie before he had the visit with my dog. His feathers were just starting to grow out from the being in the too small of a cage at the pet store. She really did a number on him, I came home to feathers all over her area, just knowing she had killed him. I have 5 ac., and why every turkey I have, has this desire to visit the dog is the little spot she has, is beyond me.
Thank you again for all the replies.
