Description
Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys are fast-growing turkeys that produce ample amounts of meat, much like the Broad Breasted Whites. These birds grow very large and have been bred to have larger breasts. Due to their size, they will not produce naturally. Babies are brown striped with a white underneath. The feathers of the mature Bronze are dark with a metallic sheen and a whitish edging on the tail feathers, a coloration very similar to wild turkeys. Broad-Breasted Bronze Turkeys are the picture of the traditional Thanksgiving bird. They are a very popular variety of turkeys for the small farm flock and commercial breeders alike. Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys are ready to process between 16 to 22 weeks of age and will weigh 20 (hens) to 29 pounds (toms). Fully mature toms can weigh up to 38 pounds. These turkeys have an excellent feed to meat conversion ratio.
