Blue Slate Heritage Turkey
The Blue Slate turkey is a rare heritage turkey breed that was admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in 1874. While originally believed to be a cross between a black and white turkey, it is now believed that this type arose as a legitimate mutation. The Blue Slate turkey makes an excellent forager, backyard/farm turkey, and of course, a great Thanksgiving bird for your table.
Blue Slate turkeys can be varying shades of blue and may have flecks of black throughout. Hens are lighter in color than toms.
