My Free Rangers were showing out this afternoon! (pic heavy)

The boys were really showing off this afternoon when I went out to feed. These are just a few of my free range turkeys.

This is Henry my Golden Narragansett hatch from this spring.

This is the back of his fan and his Sweetgrass buddy.

This is my 2 year old bronze I hatched. He has a lot of Rio Grande in him.

This pair is my 2 goofy Golden Narragansett hens. They follow you everywhere and are just about pests! They jump up on the 4 wheeler or golf cart and ride with me.

Beautiful, Colby!

Outstanding, and these are the ones I'm leaning towards the GN as well as some Bourbons Reds............

That evening sun really brings out the iridescence on the Bronze. Put a peacock to shame.

The GN's are beautiful birds! I got lucky with mine. I had a mutt hatched a few years ago that grew up to be a GN hen. I bred her back to a Narragansett Tom. The poults were about 50/50 of Narr's and golden narr's. The only bad thing with the GN's is they don't breed true. GN to GN makes GN, N and buff. I am going to breed him with 2 GN hens and a narr hen this spring.

That's funny because the pen they were standing by is about 10 yearling peacocks they were jacking with!

I would go with the GN's if I were you! I have some nice BR's in the barn but they are a boaring color to me and they are bred for eating here.
