It looks like the variety is a Broad Breasted Bronze tom. A heritage tom will have longer and not as heavy legs.View attachment 1900988 View attachment 1900989 View attachment 1900990 I think my Jake is a heritage bronze. Anyone have any thoughts?
He is the type of turkey that was selectively bred for food. They can breed naturally but are not very efficient at it and get worse as they age and increase in size. To extend their life span, they need to be kept active and not over fed. Even then managing to keep a BB tom alive for more than 3 years would be a success story.Thanks for the replies. We plan on keeping him as a pet. So is this the type of turkey that can not breed with out AI?
What does the "BB" in BB bronze mean?bb bronze can get too big to be able to be able to breed or kept as pets.....need strict diet and lots of exercise if planning to keep longer than 4-6 months
