Royal Palm Turkey
The Royal Palm is a strikingly attractive and small sized turkey variety. The first birds in America to have the Palm color pattern appeared in a mixed flock of Black, Bronze, Narragansett, and Wild turkeys on the farm of Enoch Carson of Lake Worth, Florida in the 1920's.  The Royal Palm was recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1971.  Royal Palm turkeys are white with a sharply contrasting, metallic black edging on the feathers. The saddle is black, which promotes a sharp contrast against the white base color of body plumage. Royal Palms are active, thrifty turkeys, excellent foragers, and good flyers.
