Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys

Broad-Breasted Bronze Turkeys are fast-growing birds that produce generous amounts of meat, similar to Broad-Breasted White Turkeys. Their dark feathers feature a metallic sheen with light edging on the tail feathers, giving them the classic look of a traditional wild turkey and making them the quintessential Thanksgiving bird. This variety is popular among small farm flocks and commercial breeders alike.

For maximum meat production, it is best to process your turkeys between 16 and 22 weeks of age. These birds are a carefully developed hybrid, selectively bred over many generations for rapid growth and high meat yield. Because they have been bred for their large size and meatiness, they cannot breed naturally.
