World record Broad Breasted White Age

[Huntergatherr]

My BIL has a 3.5 year old Broad Breasted White male Tom turkey named Leslie, that literally gets the BEST care. How can we enter him into the world record for his age?
I can't find many records for oldest BBW turkeys!

It's not even close to the oldest BBW turkey. A former member had a BBW hen that lived for 9 years.

Thank you! That's good to know! I wonder what the oldest Tom was?

I don't know that they even keep records on them. The major breeders use yearlings for their breeding stock.

That was what I figured, which is why I thought it was so rare he was going on 4.

Congratulations on your tom being this old. Frank just turned a year in February. This gives me hope!

I have a broad breasted bronze that is 5+ years old and is still very healthy!
