ROYAL PALM TURKEYS

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Royal Palm Turkeys are a strikingly attractive small-sized turkey variety. They are the only variety to be bred as an ornamental variety rather than for growth rate and muscling. They are white with a sharply contrasting, metallic black edging on the feathers. The saddle is black and the tail is pure white, with each feather having a band of black and an edge of white. They are active, thrifty, excellent foragers and good flyers. Standard weights at maturity are males- 16 lbs. and hens-10 lbs.

 Hatchlings Since 2014: 279
