BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

[Gorman Farm]

Born 1/13/17 see the chick on the right


This is him (right) at 7 weeks..he is far bigger than the other chicks born, and already 3/4 the size of the grown hens already. He is for sure one of the fastest growers I have had. He is out of one of my black sex link hens x Buff Orp roo.

Will google it.

The Narragansett turkey is named for Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, where the variety was developed. It descends from a cross between native Eastern Wild turkeys and the domestic turkeys (probably Norfolk Blacks) brought to America by English and European colonists beginning in the 1600’s. Improved and standardized for production qualities, the Narragansett became the foundation of the turkey industry in New England.

I can tell you from my experience with them, they are a hardier breed than some of the other Heritage Breeds.They are also very sweet tempered.
