I'm brand new to turkeys. How do you age them by their legs? And he has brown on him also.

He looks kinda like my Narragansett sorta... I would say he is a mix of the two.

I'm wanting to put a small flock of heritage turkeys on my farm, thinking about Narragansetts, where can I get some good quality chicks for this spring?

I don't know if you find out please let me know. I got this Tom to go with my Bronze hens. The poults will be sexlinked. He has been the only one I have seen in my area. I lucked out.

If you order them before the end of the year, he usually has discounts. And you can pick the timeframe of when they come in the spring or summer.
