I have successfully raised several different breeds of chickens, runner ducks, and quail over the past few years as a hobby and wanted to try out turkeys. Since my space is limited, I decided to go with a smaller breed of turkey and after reading great things about the Beltsville hatching eggs from Jerry Poole, I ordered a dozen to incubate (shipped in the spring of course). Since these birds will be forever pets, I was wondering about their temperment. I am so hoping that they will be friendly and take an interest in the family. Can any of you share your experiences with this particular breed?

I never raised any, but a friend of mine does and as long as you spend time with them as they grow they should be friendly.

Beltsville Small White Turkeys are listed in the SOP with a mature weight of a Tom as 21 lbs. They are all of 1 lb smaller than a Royal Palm. Just want you to know that even what is supposed to be a "small" turkey, is still pretty darned big.
