Narragansett Turkey Hatching Eggs $5
Lebanon, TN
back
Available are fertilized eggs from pure Narrangansett heritage turkeys. Asking $5/egg. These are the only turkeys I raise, so there is no possibility of cross breeding. I personally incubate eggs and have never had worse than an 80% hatch rate in two years with my GQF styrofoam incubator (aka nothing fancy required for a good hatch!).
I will have hatched birds available for $12/unsexed poult starting 5/5.
A bit of information about the breed: because if their size (Toms can reach 30lbs), Narrangansetts were once used as commercial meat birds in the 1800s until they were replaced by modern production breeds. Like all heritage turkeys, the Narragansett is a now considered a rare bird and is on the Livestock Conservancy watch list. The Narragansett turkey is named for the sandy Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, where the variety was developed. The Narragansett color pattern contains black, gray, tan, and white. Its pattern is similar to that of the Bronze, with steel gray or dull black replacing the coppery bronze. White wing bars are the result of a genetic mutation that removes the bronze coloration and isn’t known outside the United States. The Narragansett’s beak is horn colored, its head is red to bluish-white (definitely blue when they’re excited), and its beard is black. The shanks and feet are salmon-colored.
