Narragansett temperment

[BubAnna Angus]

It would make sense that each variety would have slight character differences, but are Narragansett's known to be aggressive? I bought a few earlier this year and the chicks would attack my hand; they killed an bird a week older than them. I lost that batch so I bought 4 more. They're doing the same thing.
Is this typical?

No, narrs are usually nonaggressive.

I don't notice any difference between the different colors of turkeys. No more than a black dog compared to a white dog of the same breed.

Where the aggressive poults under a white light?

 

[BubAnna Angus]

no, a red light. When I put my hand in they attack. I think they may be a little more curious and not as timid. I'm very happy to hear that they are not aggressive by nature.
Thanks

I have raised four of the varieties Steve mentions, and agree with him on his descriptions. Narragansetts are between bronzes and bourbon reds...curious, friendly, and always in the way
