Heritage Chickens and Turkeys Kardosh Bronze Hens and Jersey Buff Tom Heritage turkeys are old breeds preserved by a few breeders in the U.S. They grow very slowly, mate naturally and provide an old-fashioned turkey taste and texture not found anymore in the mass produced turkeys you would buy in your local big box store. No antibiotics or growth hormones are used. ~~ Sorry, we HAVE NO TURKEYS THIS YEAR, 2007~~ Heritage Turkey: Bourbon Red, Blue Slate average wt.= 8 - 12 #'s. $4.75 per #
They are more expensive due to the longer growth period, consuming more feed and requiring more labor. We use certified organic grain as a supplement to clean grass pastures.
Market White: broad-breasted , heavier birds average 12- 20 #'s. $4.00 per #
