When you cross a royal palm with an auburn hen, all the offspring will be bronze based with a recessive black wing gene. They will also all have one palm gene and one narragansett gene. Auburn hens may have one or two brown genes. If your hen has two brown genes, all your offspring will have one. If your hen has one brown gene, then half your offspring will have one, and half will have no brown. Your birds should look mostly like bronzes, but may be a little washed out from the single recessive palm or narragansett genes.

Blue slates are black based, with one blue gene. The black is dominant, so the half that get the blus gene will look like blus slates, and the half that don't get the blus gene should be black.

I seen that Turkey Breeder asked this question on the Yahoo genetics board and was answered. I did not feel a need to answer it twice but I see something that needs to be corrected in your answer. The (e) brown modifying gene, like the (ng) narragansett gene, is a sex linked gene. Hens only have one e gene. They cannot have two. Males can have one or two e genes. It takes two (ee) in a male to show and only one (e) in a female to show. The hen will pass only one gene to half her male offspring. They will be split for brown. The male Royal Palm will pass the Naragansett gene to his female offsping. The hens will look like a Naraganzett. The Toms will look like a bronze.

Keep in mind that this cross will produce Naragansetts and Bronze that are smaller than what most people will want. It would be like breeding the breast meat right off of them. Unless you have a long term breeding plan don't do it.
