Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey

Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey

The Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey is known for being one of the largest and heaviest turkey varieties available. Originating in the United States, this breed was recognized by the American Standard of Perfection in 1874. With an impressive feed-to-meat conversion rate, the Broad Breasted Bronze turkey is an excellent choice for family meat production.

Due to their large size, these turkeys don’t reproduce well naturally; instead, parent stock are artificially inseminated to ensure high hatchability. Compared to heritage turkeys, the Broad Breasted Bronze has a shorter natural lifespan, largely due to its size. At Chicken Coop Company, we source bloodlines from Aviagen Turkeys, Inc., ensuring quality in every hatch.
