What breed is my Tom? (see pic)

Royal Palm mix is an interesting term, but unless we say mixed with what, it doesn't really mean much. The first reply suggests Royal palm crossed with a standard bronze. This would be bb1CcgNgng. It could be this. I have bred this combination in my flock. They looked very much like standard bronze. Mine had darker primaries and much darker secondaries. Also, at first glance the tail looks very plain and gray, like an Oregon gray. But closer inspection shows that there is mottling such as you would find on a bronze or Narragnasett, but again very light.


Without further information, I would have to lean to Royal Palm X St Bronze. Or maybe just a standard bronze from a line with very pale secondaries and pale tails??

WOW you seem very knowledgable about turkeys! Thanks so much for answering. Here are some more pics to see what you think:

My two toms there: Dali and Frodo


This is Paz (one of the hens) who has been sitting for 3 days now.
 
You know on thanksgiving day they all look the same! Lol
