What is the average lifespan of a Narragansett turkey hen?

Too many unknown variables can affect the lifespan of a turkey. I have had heritage turkeys live to 11 years old before being taken by predators. Without the predators involved, I have no idea how many more years they could have lived.

If a hen is kept with a tom, her lifespan may be cut short from a breeding accident. If the feed used to start the poult's life is not the appropriate feed, it can cause the adult turkey's life to be shorter than expected.

If the turkey is kept in too confined an area, it can cause its life to be shorter due to lack of exercise and boredom.
