Pencilled Turkeys

Phil wasn't overly cooperative with the pictures this morning but I got a few I'll need to get my good camera out and try to get some better ones though.

Apparently Lil would like you to get rid of the dog....or at the least, remove it from her presence!! LOlL!

Still can't get over how colorful they are...

They're beautiful Aurora! Cant wait to see babies next year to help decipher what variety they are. Have a breeding plan yet?

They look like one I have that is supposed to be a pencilled cornish. I think she carrys a red which would be a red Phoenix. Test breeding her to my tiger tom will help me figure it out.

So far, my plan is to breed Phil to Pebbles and Sweet pea (bronze and red bronze) and Lil to Mister (semi penciled, tri colored blue palm). But I'm not sure other than that. I have a proper one growing up that I'm still not sure what she is so she'll probably join one of these two groups too if she's a she lol

Next years babies are going to be fun! All the crazy colors & patterns!

Fancy pencil patterned tricolor tom.

Semi pencilled sweetgrass. She is pretty lackluster in color and pattern

That tri-colored tom is amazing. I also like the hen...
Shes not lackluster! I'd own her! LOL!

I'm sorry if I missed it, but how do you get the pencilling genetics? Is there a specific strain or variety which has it or does it show up when you start crossing varieties?
