Royal Palm x Narragansett

[Nicks_Chicks]

What would I get with a royal palm tom over a narragansett hen? If it makes a difference the narragansett hen was made by crossing a royal palm tom over a bronze hen.

You'll get a bunch of different varieties, as the female is impure.

All three poults I have hatched don't look like any of those. And all the poults looked the same. I wonder if they were the one that didn't have a picture.

Do you have pictures of the parents and the poults?

How sure are you that the hen is a Narragansett? I ask only because her color and pattern are not like either the golden or normal variety of Narragansett that I have seen. Perhaps yours is just a different variation of Narragansett I’ve not seen? I’m certainly no expert. I have a photo of mine and they are still young (12weeks) so maybe they change a lot as they molt and age.

Like I said, she is not a normal narangansett as she was made by crossing a royal palm with a bronze.

I see that now, apologies. She’s a neat looking hen. Almost looked brown in that photo.

She is most likely (bb1 Ccg n-)

Porter's is now referring to that combination as Narragansett- split to black winged bronze.

If I am remembering correctly they used to refer to it as Narragansett Semi-Color Semi-gray split to black winged bronze.

That was just the automatic naming from Henk (who originally made the color calculator).

Phenotypically the only real difference you can determine between a normal Narragansett and a b/b1 C/cg n/- is that the barrings of the primary wings are usually imperfect on b/b1 birds.
