Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys

         Silver Dapple Turkeys

             

The Silver Dapple turkey is Black based with or without a Bronze or Black Winged Bronze allele, diluted to silver-gray by the Narragansett gene.

At this point in time in our development of this variety they can be a few different genetic color combinations: BBCC(or Cc)ngng or Bb1CC(or Cc)ngng also Bb+CC(or Cc)ngng. The second combo in parenthesis on each type also carries a single recessive white gene labeled (c). Some birds may also carry a single oregon gray gene (cg)

Due to their multiple genetic makeup they do not breed true , they produce: Silver Dapple, Oregon Gray,Barred Winged Gray,White, Royal Palm and Mottled and Marbled Blacks are also possible.
