Bronze Heritage Standard Turkey Poults

Step into the world of vintage charm with Valley Hatchery’s Bronze Heritage Standard Turkey Poults, a nod to the rich heritage of North American poultry. These majestic birds are not just turkeys; they’re living pieces of history, perfectly bred to bring a blend of tradition and quality to your farmstead. Our Bronze Heritage Standard Turkeys are a storybook of genetics, born from the fascinating union of Wild Eastern Turkeys and breeds introduced by European colonists. This harmonious blend has crafted a breed that’s the best of both worlds – embodying the robustness and gentle temperament of its forebears. Officially christened as “Heritage Standard Bronze” in the 1800s and recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1874, these turkeys are a feathered testament to poultry excellence. In an age where the Broad Breasted Bronze took the commercial spotlight, it was the passion of dedicated breeders that kept the flame alive for the Heritage Standard Bronze. Celebrated for their longevity and natural growth pace, these birds are a far cry from their commercial counterparts, boasting inherent foraging prowess and the ability to breed naturally. Our Bronze Heritage Standard Turkeys are more than just a pretty feathered face; they’re versatile players in the worlds of exhibition, meat, and egg production. While their egg-laying might be modest in quantity, each egg they produce is a marvel in itself, large to extra-large in size with an exquisite off-white tint. The toms are a hefty bunch, weighing in at about 23 lbs, while the hens are a respectable 14 lbs. Plus, don’t be surprised if they show off their broody side, a charming display of their natural instincts. At Valley Hatchery, we pride ourselves on offering Bronze Heritage Standard Turkeys that are second to none. Whether you’re an aficionado of heritage breeds, a proud exhibitor, or keen on upping your poultry game, our Bronze Heritage Turkey Poults are a perfect match for any purpose. Dive into the legacy and live the excellence with Valley Hatchery, where heritage breeds aren’t just preserved; they’re celebrated!
