What color tom to use

[Anietzke]

So I recently purchased a laying lilac hen and a laying blue slate hen. I am new to the turkey world, but have a decent amount of experiencs with breeding different chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, and guineas. Just a little confused on turkey genetics.

What color tom would you use to breed to them?

If I manage to find a lilac tom, what color offspring would he produce when paired with a blue slate hen?

What color offspring would a blue slate tom produce with a lilac hen?

A Blue Slate tom (BB Dd) over a Lilac hen (bb DD) can produce Barred Self Blues (Bb DD) and Barred Slates (Bb Dd).

Of course a Blue Slate tom over a Blue Slate hen will produce Blue Slates, Self Blues (BB DD) and Blacks (BB dd)
