Hoover’s Hatchery Heritage Turkey Variety Pack

[907poultry]

We also have a few different looking poults, I will try to get pics of each of them

1) the smallest (bourbon red?) is solid red unlike the others who are red cream with red markings. This poult is significantly smaller than the others (the same size as the royal palm) and seems rather frail all around.

2) a worryingly lazy (bourbon red?) poult, who has a white band that separates (his/her?) red head/back stripe. This poult is always eating but spends most of (his/her?) time laying down. This poult was lethargic when we opened the box.

3) another (bourbon red?) that has lavender markings instead of red. This poult is doing fine, however does spend a lot of time scratching and pecking around (where there is no food or poop).


Also on of the Narragansett poults looks like (he/she?) got pecked on the neck

Are these in fact bourbon reds? Have any of you seen poults with these colors? Pictures will be added soon.

This is 1) I have to get a comparison pic in better lighting, but you can see the more solid coloration

You can check out many of the heritage varieties at Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys. They do have many poult pictures.

Not a Bourbon Red.

There is one that keeps pecking and pulling on feathers, how do I deal with this problem poult?

Let it be.

Not a Bourbon Red.

I wonder what it is then… Hoover’s said Bourbon Red, Blue Slate, Royal Palm, Narragansett or Black Spanish…
