Hello,
This is our first year raising turkeys. We have 3 different breeds of heritage (Blue Slate, Red Bourban, and Black). Everywhere I read says that they will reach "market weight" in 26-28 weeks. My question is - what is market weight?
We would like a 10-15 pound turkey to put in the oven -- from your experience/knowledge, how long will it take for these heritage breeds to reach that size for the freezer.
Thank you!
