ARE OTHER HYBRID TURKEYS AS HEAVY AS THE BROAD BREASTED VARIETY?

[Kalunga Pharms]

Can hybrid turkeys bred from a BBB or BBW hen and a heritage or a non-BB hybrid tom be as heavy as the BB turkey in the same amount of time?

Usually the mixed breeds gain weight a bit faster since the bb aren't breed to grow as quickly.

Normally crossing a broad breasted with a heritage will not result in a turkey that grows as fast or as big as a pure broad breasted turkey. They will grow faster and get bigger than a heritage variety.
