I would like to breed naragansetts--but I'd like to start with good quality breeding stock. When a big hatchery was having problems with the hens slow to hatch (and not having a way to process) I "chickened" out of the Narragansett order.
I thought that because the Narragansetts are a local (I'm just over the RI border) they might sell better than other turkeys.
Are there any other good breeders of these turkeys besides Porters???? I'd rather buy poults than do eggs at this point.
Thanks for listening.
Being from Rhode Island I am in the same "boat" as Arielle; I would like to raise Narragansetts from good stock. Do I need stock from two or more sources to keep from inbreeding? Again, how many unique bloodlines can there be and who has them? Thanks in advance for any help on this subject.
