Domestic Turkeys

Domestic turkey poults for sale

Domestic turkeys include heritage turkey breeds and the Broad Breasted varieties. Heritage breeds become more popular every year, but if you want a turkey much like those you buy in the grocery store, you should raise one of the Broad Breasted types.

Heritage breeds are capable of reproducing, so you could conceivably manage a flock, but Broad Breasteds cannot reproduce naturally, so you will need to order new chicks, rather than depending on the hens to lay and incubate eggs.
