There has been and still is alot of controversy on just what a Lilac turkey is suppose to look like. I have done some extensive research and also did some test breedings myself and I have came to the conclusion that a Lilac turkey is really just bronze based with two slate genes. Genotype of b+b+DD. A light blue colored body with a pale reddish tan tail and blue band ending in a creme or white tip. The red gene is not involved in this variety, the pale reddish tan tints in the tail is just the bronze gene expressing through the blue. They will breed true.
