royal palm tom and two hens

[al1948]

I just bought a trio of royal palm turkeys . They laid eggs this Spring and 3 of the eggs hatched in an incubator. What surprised me is one is a royal palm, one is black and one is brown. Is this unusual and has anyone had similar results. Thanks for taking time to read this .

Royal Palms breed true. The only way that you could have gotten those results is if your Royal Palms are not pure breeds or if the hens were bred by something other than a Royal Palm tom before you got them.
