“The Patriot”
Self Blue Palm with a single Red Gene.
(b1b1cgcgngngRr)
"The Patriot" is a Self Blue Palm Tom that came from a Slate Blue Palm Hen that carried a single Red gene and a Slate Blue Palm Tom. I received these eggs from someone in an egg swap. At first I was not going to keep this bird as a breeder however people have been referring to him as “The Patriot Red, White & Blue Turkey”! Several have asked if I can breed more that look like him. The answer is "Yes & No" I can do some breeding that will produce more like him however they will never breed True!
I found a 4-H Student in Payette County that would like to breed some Heritage Turkeys this year for their 4-H Project. I have decided to give them this Tom and two hens to breed as their project. Although these birds will not breed true we will breed him back to a Royal Palm Hen and a Blue Slate Hen that carries a single (cg) palm and (ng) Narragansett gene.
This should produce more that look like this Tom along with some Blue Slate and Self Blue Palms both of which will breed true. Some that will more closely resemble the Oregon Gray with and without the red gene.
This should be a fun project and produce some interesting birds!
