Hello!
I'm interested in raising heritage turkeys primarily for meat but would love eggs as well. The BB are out of the picture because I want birds that can reproduce on their own... I don't know how to AI! So what breeds do you all recommend? I'm thinking the Midgets would take longer to get to a good size. I think we've only had BBB and Midget White before. We let the BBB grow too long and got a few 46 lb and a 48 lb tom AFTER processing. Too big, IMO! They didn't fit in the oven.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any input or advice on the subject. Thanks!
