Getting close to turkey butcher time and it's obvious that the feed store had their turkey poults mislabeled.
We buy broadbreasted, to eat for Thanksgiving and to fill the freezer for the year.
This year the feed store gave us some heritage breed instead of broardbreasted. Instead of 40-50 lb toms and 20-30 lb hens, we now have 14-16 lb hens and 20-22 lb toms.
More than disappointed, since turkey meat from the freezer is a big part of our diet for the year and these smaller birds won't feed use nearly as long.
Suppose I have to order directly from the breeder for now on.
