If you’ve been searching for live turkeys for sale online, our farm-raised poults are a healthy, reliable choice for small-scale turkey production, breeding programs, or exhibition.
Heritage turkeys are a world apart from the commercial broad-breasted breeds found in supermarkets. They grow more slowly, develop richer flavor, and live longer, more natural lives. Narragansett turkeys — one of the oldest American heritage breeds — are among our most requested birds, known for their calm temperament, excellent maternal instincts, and striking black-and-gray plumage. They are well suited to free-range environments and small farm operations.
Why choose heritage turkeys:
- Superior flavor and texture compared to commercial breeds
- Natural breeding capability — no artificial insemination required
- Long-lived, hardy birds suited to pasture and free-range systems
- Excellent foragers — reduce feed costs on grass-based operations
- Rare and increasingly sought-after for small farm biodiversity
What to expect from our turkey poults:
- Ships as day-old poults during seasonal availability windows
- Heritage breeds, including Narragansett and others depending on season
- Health-checked and vaccinated before shipping
- Live arrival guarantee on every order
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to raise a heritage turkey to harvest weight? Heritage turkeys grow significantly more slowly than commercial breeds. Most heritage breeds reach a harvest weight of 15–25 lbs between 26 and 32 weeks of age, compared to 16–18 weeks for broad-breasted whites. The slower growth produces noticeably better flavor and firmer texture.
Can turkeys be raised with chickens? Turkeys and chickens can share outdoor space, but it is generally recommended to keep them separate, especially when young. Chickens can carry blackhead disease (histomoniasis), which is harmless to them but potentially fatal to turkeys. Once turkeys are mature and robust, mixed-range management is more manageable.
What do heritage turkeys eat? Turkey poults require a higher-protein starter feed (28–30% protein) than chicken chicks for the first 8 weeks. After that, they transition to a grower feed and, in free-range settings, supplement heavily through foraging—grass, insects, and small seeds make up a significant portion of their diet.
