The Blue Palm actually comes in two different color forms, a slate blue and a self blue. Due to the nature of the blue gene, when breeding slate blue palms together 3 color types will be produced, slate blue palm, self blue palm and royal palm.
The best way to get 100% blue palms is to breed a self blue palm tom to slate blue palm hens, or the opposite, slate blue palm tom to self blue palm hens, then only blue palms will result in both blue palm color types, with no royal palms being produced.
Self Blue Palms will breed true bred to the same.
Genotype for Slate Blue Palm: b1b1cgcgDdngng (toms) or ng-(hens) Genotype for Self Blue Palm: b1b1cgcgDDngng (toms) or ng- (hens)
Black winged bronze based with palm,slate and narragansett genes.
We will be developing our own line of Blue Palms this year so will be keeping back most of these for breeding stock, we plan to have poults available for sale in this variety by 2009.
