Delicious, flavorful, juicy turkeys raised with care by local growers await you. Standard Bronze. Could it be any simpler?

Most were pretty developed with lots of feathers. On this blog, I'm going to share my experiences. I just couldn’t understand why the hens would spend all that time brooding then turn on their poults.

Both are tender, moist, and delicious.

Heritage turkeys are smaller than their commercially bred counterparts (which are all Broad Breasted Whites) and have a stronger—some say gamy—flavor. Domestic turkeys weigh 6 to 24 pounds and have large breasts in relation to their legs and wings. My granddaughters hatched them.

Once the blood has been drained, you will have to scald the turkey to pluck it easily. I guess I thought I had a couple more weeks for them to grow but was reminded late last week that this weekend coming is our thanksgiving.

He had been very disappointed that I didn’t prepare Thanksgiving dinner at our house that year…for the first time in his life.

Or if space is limited, deciding on chickens or turkeys.

She accepted that and layed more. She laughed and said that Joe had come to school claiming that we had a turkey that was so big that we couldn’t fit it in the oven, so we had to cook it over a campfire! Also, if the parents haven’t had proper nutrition, the fertility can be low.
This year I had only 7 out of around 40 eggs that hatched. Roasting the Perfect Turkey As it never gets below 60 F here, I’m assuming that the poults will be OK without heat. what is the cause and what do i do about it, Hi, Eric talks about hunting them and how smart they are, the Tom has mad skills that way! I also think that more of the poults survive when I hatch and brood them myself. Hi Grace,

It is quite a sight to see and I am truly fascinated. They are considered to be the best-tasting heritage turkey breed. If you aren’t able to raise heritage turkeys for future generations, you could also consider ordering a few of the broad breasted turkeys and just butchering each autumn. Don’t forget the further away from the time of mating; the less of a chance the egg will have been fertilized. If they are too cold they will huddle together under the heat source, if they are too warm they will keep to the very edges of the brooder. These grow up to be roughly the same size as a Midget White; however, their chests are wider, and they are known as “a good table bird.” Their flavor is nothing to rave about, usually blander than Midget Whites. In my area, there is a farm that orders large numbers of BB turkeys at a lower price.

Best wishes with looking for a homestead! The name Turkey was first implemented into the fowl which has been thought to have started from Turkey. I was able to purchase most of the feed on sale for the lower price. Well, to start, let me just say that I am very impressed! Thanks for your advice. Keeping the roosts movable will prevent the turkey manor from accumulating on one spot of the pen, thus making it much easier to clean.

Now though, I feel quite certain that I have 1 bronze and 1 white broad breasted turkey. I told her that no, we had gone to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving so I didn’t cook.

So I separated the Tom from the hens and poults. We also have chickens, but do not import any grown birds and have had no problem with diseases like blackhead. It’s a step back to how things used to taste. This will make the breast meat much juicier!

For some growers this may be a short time; other growers allow the animals to roam a large area and hunt-and-peck as they like, with access to shelter, as the animal desires.

They are a small device that you snap onto their beaks to block their vision in front, making it hard to pick on flockmates.

Would it be possible to find someone with a sitting hen to hatch the 8 and see what happens to whatever else she lays? If I keep the coop at the desired temperature, should they be okay to survive? I’m Lisa Lynn and this is The Self Sufficient HomeAcre. Most likely she is done trying to lay and hatch eggs for this year.

At three weeks you will be able to add a roost to your brooder. It seems safer than leaving them out, even if you haven’t had problems with night prowlers about.
Great job on raising your turkeys and researching everything that they need to be healthy and happy. Obviously, the turkey will spend some time in this range (on the way home from the store and as it's being served), but limit that total time to about 4 hours. This year, we appear to have 5 toms and two hens! Ty in advance!! I would add that lighter colored turkeys make a better looking carcass as the darker birds If she didn’t drink enough during the last 3 days, the shells would have been too dry and hard for the poults to hatch. I’m having a heck.of a time raising poults though. With the heritage turkeys, it takes around 6 months for them to reach a good size for butchering.

Toss in excess or bug-infested apples, tomatoes, and other produce to clean up your garden and save money on feed. On the 26th day, you will need to stop rotating the eggs and double the humidity in preparation for hatching.
