Fed Strictly Organic Non GMO Feed
- Plumage: Deep chestnut-red body feathers with white flight (wing) and tail feathers.
- Skin/Dressed Appearance: Clean, attractive carcass (light pinfeathers leave no dark pigment behind).
-
Mature Weights:
- Toms (Males): 23 to 33 lbs.
- Hens (Females): 14 to 18 lbs.
Behavior & Temperament
- Foraging: Exceptional, active foragers that thrive in free-range and pasture-based systems.
- Temperament: Generally calm, docile, and friendly (often raised as pets or farm companions). Toms can become territorial during the breeding season.
- Flight: Strong flyers compared to commercial, broad-breasted birds; may require enclosed spaces or wing-clipping if they try to escape.
Reproduction & Meat Quality
- Mating: Breeds naturally without the need for artificial insemination (70-80% fertility rate).
- Egg Production: Seasonal layers (spring/early summer) that produce large, pale cream-to-brown spotted eggs.
- Market Maturation: Takes about 24 to 28 weeks to reach harvest size, developing denser, more richly flavored dark meat than commercial turkeys.
