Heritage Bronze Turkey
The Heritage Bronze Turkey is a timeless favorite, prized for its striking iridescent bronze plumage, excellent foraging ability, and rich, traditional flavor. As one of America's oldest heritage turkey varieties, these birds are a great choice for homesteads, small farms, and anyone looking to raise a naturally breeding turkey.
Unlike broad breasted commercial turkeys, Heritage Bronze turkeys grow at a natural pace and are able to breed naturally. They are active, hardy birds that thrive on pasture and make the most of free-range environments. Their alert nature and strong foraging instincts help them excel in sustainable backyard and farm settings.
Mature toms typically weigh 25–36 pounds, while hens average 16–20 pounds. Hens lay a moderate number of lightly speckled cream-colored eggs during the breeding season and are known to make attentive mothers.
Whether you're raising them for flavorful holiday meals, preserving a historic breed, or adding beauty and personality to your farm, Heritage Bronze turkeys are a rewarding addition to any flock.
