Heritage turkeys

[phoenixmama]

I haven't gotten responses over in the turkeys section...

So, how long is too long to wait to process heritage turkey breeds? I don't want them to be tough, but I'd like the hens to be a bit bigger. I've got Holland whites and Bourbon reds.

Thanks!

About 6-8 months..... I love the Bourbons.... beautiful but yet still so tastey.

they should reach market size in 24-32 weeks from hatch
