Broad Breasted White

A variant of Domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Broad Breasted White

Representative Domestic turkeyphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

The dominant commercial meat strain: enormous, fast-growing, white-feathered, unable to fly or naturally mate, and prone to leg and heart problems. Not a long-term pet.

Keeper tips for this variant

If kept as a pet, ruthlessly restrict feed after the first weeks and keep on soft footing to slow growth — unchecked, the legs, joints, and heart fail within a year or two; natural breeding is impossible, so don't expect a self-sustaining bird.
