I bought 3 Turkey poults that are from a royal palm Tom over a blue slate hen. They are supposed to be sex links. I was told that the female offspring will be Barred Semi-Color Semi-Gray Dilute Lilac or Barred Black Semi-Color Semi-Gray Narragansett and the male offspring will be Barred Black Semi-Color Semi-Gray or Tri-color Mottled Slate. Erm... how would you explain those colors for a dummy 😂 what would a semi grey dilute lilac be? Is that just fancy terms for blue slate coloring? 😂I don't mean to sound stupid but I have no clue what that means. Can someone please simplify this for me and maybe show me some pictures of what they may look like? Right now they are just a silver color like blue slate poults with a yellow face.... help. :)

Other than the Tri-color Mottled Slate these are descriptive names based on the color genes.
