Breeding out the broad breasted out of bronzes?

[Studabird]

So I bought BBB’s but my father said their legs were too narrow so he thought they were heritage bronzes. But the are 18 to 20 weeks and the males are probably 25 pounds. My wife however loves them. So my question is. If I can keep them lean enough to mate does anyone think I can use the smallest males to in a few generations breed out the broad breasted or get pigmy BBB’s that won’t eat until they die? Just a curious musing.

I think it's an interesting idea, although it would probably be easier to just buy some heritage turkeys but it'd be an interesting project nonetheless!

Yeah it would be easier... but what fun would that be???
