Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey
The Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey is a large, impressive, and fast-growing meat breed prized for its outstanding size, rich flavor, and traditional heritage appearance. With their striking metallic bronze plumage and broad, well-muscled frame, these turkeys are a top choice for families, homesteads, and small farms looking to raise their own Thanksgiving-style bird.
Broad Breasted Bronzes reach market weight quickly, making them the largest domestic turkey breed and one of the most efficient meat producers. Their meat is known for its excellent taste and classic turkey texture, making them ideal for holiday meals and homegrown poultry production.
While they are calm and easy to manage, this breed cannot fly well due to its size and does best in secure pens or pasture setups. They enjoy grazing, foraging, and interacting with their environment, but they require proper feed management to support their rapid growth.
